Very nice, don't you guys call the major gullies a wash? Other words when I was out there in 2006 I would cross over a bridge on the highway and would see a sign saying _____ wash. When I looked over the side it was just a dried up stream bed, of course I expected nothing more than that since it was the desert.
I can imagine out there you have to be on your a game and ready for any flash flooding.
Most of the times in my part of the country we cross a bridge like that and we look over the side and see running water, such as a creek, river or stream.
