Yeah, when we realized it's all powdery sand/dirt under a thin layer of rocks/gravel, I was a little worried. Looking at a satellite image of the area, you can see little trails of bushes that are obviously small washes when it rains. They're so close together, it's hard to get a site away from them. Plus, we picked a spot that there is clearly a small dip (in the middle of a small wash) coming into this section. There's another way out, but the whole situation would have made me nervous if the rain lasted another day. We needed to go dump our tanks, but we're waiting a day, til the ground looks drier. Who knew we'd have to worry about rain in the desert? (At least, at this time of year?)
I'm glad to see the mountains again. And our windows have stopped fogging up. Maybe by tomorrow it will be dry enough to be worth taking a look around the flea markets for fun. Are they open on Sundays? In Utah, the streets practically roll up on Sundays, with the exception of fast food and big box stores. At least, in the towns we stayed in.
Edit: We didn't pick a spot in a wash, I meant that to get to the spot we picked, the first entrance goes through a small dip at a small wash, which could get risky in a bad rain. There's another way out, but it's way out of the way.
[I can't fix the original post, because the forum settings are set so that you can't edit your posts after five minutes...and I was interrupted while editing it. It would be nice if there was a way to change that. I hate it when I see a big mistake in my post, and I can't change it.
Just a thought. Then I could avoid having everyone thinking I'm a goober who parked in the middle of a wash, LOL. I'm a goober for so many other reasons, but not that!]
Anyone know of a quiet place to get some work done in town? The library is closed on the weekends. Wifi isn't necessary, just a comfortable place to sit, and preferably a place to plug in the laptop.
