Yes, we do get rain on occasion, the problem is what we get generally comes down all at once. Friday, 30% chance of scattered showers, it was 92 degrees and it started to rain, sun shine and rain. More Rain. And even more rain. I was at my Photo Studio and wanted to go home, but I didn’t want to go out in this.

This is what causes the normally dry arroyos to go from dry to 6 foot deep and 40 miles per hour in a couple of minutes.
Now after watching the video, are you ready for this… officially we got " A Trace of rain in Farmington ". If that was a trace… What would they call Hurricane Sandy?
The Pike took a beating. I got 3 wash overs with mud on the main line.
And one on the Mtn Div.
Not really to bad, but maybe time for some more cribbing. I spent this morning building some low panels to try and hold back the dirt. Install tomorrow.
