Buckhorn Reservoir

A small reservoir at the head of Buckhorn Wash in central Utah. It's full (and muddy!) due to the monsoon rains. The insert shows a different view, off to the left, with the dam in the edge of the picture.

Portland Creek

In flood, in a slot canyon downstream from the bridge on the way to Amphitheater Campground. A house in Ouray, Colorado, is visible in the distance--I hope they're far enough above the creek!

Portland Creek

In flood, in the aftermath of an intense thunderstorm. I'm standing on a bridge here, which led to our campground, and you could hear the rumble of the bed load from the rocks tumbling down the falls. Geology in action! On the other (downstream) side of the bridge, the creek drops into a slot canyon (see inset), on its way to join the Uncompahgre River. Just outside Ouray, Colorado.

Muddy

Road access--sort of--to Emigrant Lake outside Ashland, Oregon. Even with the 4x4 I didn't try to take the car down to the shore!

Too thick to drink, too thin to plow--

Dolores River, Colorado, muddy with the monsoon rains. In places the water looked like chocolate milk! The shrub in the foreground is the native willow.

Burro Creek

Muddy from the monsoon rains. Arizona, USA. (Yay! Satellite view has returned!) The site of a BLM (Bureau of Land Management) campground and recreation area.

Verde River

Arizona, USA. Looking north from the Verde Canyon excursion train. "Verde" = "green" in Spanish--a bit of a misnomer today, with the river muddy from the monsoon rains!
