We had a really heavy downpour last Wednesday night. It looks like I’ll have to shore up the front of the property with big rocks to avoid losing more of the landscape between the RV drive and the west wash. Again, I have plenty of big rocks up in the wash and around the lot, so it’s just a matter of collecting them in the wheelbarrow and burying them along the roadway where the floods wash down.
Damn! I’m supposed to be retired and all this stuff pops up to keep me busy. Ah well, It probably keeps me out of trouble.

Too bad you can’t channel all that water into a cistern for times when you need it.
The water eventually flows into Casandro wash about 600 feet east of here. I think the wash dumps into the Hassayampa river where it goes into the water table. Our town wells pump the water into the tanks where it is then available as running water. A roundabout path, but it is always there for us.
