And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Some big rocks in that flood. I was hoping to see a Subaru or two in there.
Hey I bought a used 4wd Subaru for $1200 back in the 90s! Except for burning oil by the gallon, stalling in cold weather, brakes pads falling out and cv joints failing it was a great little car. Used it for year, got 12k miles out of it, and zero trade in.
Jeez, fellas! It's not gonna replace the old Dodge pickup, but my AWD *manual* Forester works great up here on the farm. And gets nearly 40MPG when it's time to go see Granny!
There is actually a little geology lesson here. When you look at sedimentary rocks, look at the particle size. The bigger the particles, the faster moving the water was that deposited them.
How is it that many of us feel that Subaru drivers deserve the worst outcome?
ReplyDeleteHere in Santa Fe, the world's highest concentration of Subarus, they are called the Lesbian Limousine.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a landslide coming down a creek bed!
ReplyDeleteYeah, looks like a rockslide went through a pond or stream on its way down.
DeleteWould love to see the "after" photos to see the changes
ReplyDeleteWho says big rocks don't float...
ReplyDelete"Nice" thing about flash floods: you don't need to worry about drowning, you'll be bashed to death by boulders and tree trunks first.
ReplyDeleteThat, on a much larger scale, is how you get the Grand Canyon.
ReplyDelete- macxcool
The Grand Canyon was not formed by a flash flood of any scale.
DeleteLook up Electric Universe and read up.
I think that was from the flooding near Zermatt Switzerland a couple of months ago. Brutal.
ReplyDeleteHey, I love my 19 Forester. At 71 years old and 6'4" it's the easiest vehicle I've found to get in and out of.
ReplyDeleteScary vantage point!
ReplyDeleteAnd this, kids, is why we never camp right beside streams.
