Just a tiny outflow from the res.
And I don't mean "reservation"!
I mean "lake", uh, "reservoir".
We keep hearing "10 year drought" (and 11, and 5, and...depending on which valley you are in)
Archaeologists believe the people at Besh Ba Gowah (if you looked at the Google Maps/Earth images of Globe/Miami [massive open pit mines {more massive open pit mines in Tyrone/Silver City, so don't be confused! Lots of massive mines here}], then you saw the area) left their village around 1,300 - during a 24 year drought...
Less than 10% of "normal" in the "res" right now.
Wow.
Dry.
What happens in August?!
We heard at the cattle ranchers have already sold their cattle - no way to grow hay/feed with the drought.
Sometime i would like to hike/bike/explore from the headwaters of the rio grande up @ elevation in Colorado, all the way down the the gulf of Mexico because it is such a cool river, with such an interesting history, but I think it's too late becasue we used it all up.
ReplyDeleteWe saw a sad-looking kingfisher the other day, sittin' on a wire across the "river", lookin' at this puddle in an otherwise bone dry river bed.
DeleteHope s/he makes it...
