East of Reno, Nevada, beside Interstate 80 (the highway on the right). It looks a bit different than it did last fall! www.ipernity.com/doc/289859/43573490/in/group/317963/self
The insets have close-ups of some of the driftwood from the flooding over the winter.

Flotsam

Really. That is driftwood stuck up on the sides of this canyon, from an enormous flood back in the (IIRC) 80s. The water was running 30 feet or so deep thru here--and the speed of the current must have been enormous! Horse Creek Canyon, Santa Rosa Range, Nevada.

Flotsam piled against a mesquite, when the Mojave River was carrying considerably more water than it is now-- Mojave Desert, California.

Bent

A piece of bent and twisted railroad track, swept away in a flood down the normally dry Mojave River. Here the watercourse is opening out from Afton Canyon into the Soda Lake Basin, the nominal sump of the river. Occasionally floods such as this will turn a large part of the basin into a temporary lake. The dark green shrubs along the wash are mesquite.

A.k.a. morning glory. Another invader weed that is now thoroughly established thruout North America. This plant is even managing to thrive in the southern Nevada desert along the watercourse. At least it has nice flowers and no stickers-- The broken brush that looks like flotsam to the right of the plant in fact _is_ flood debris, from a large flood down the canyon some months back. Arrow Canyon, southern Nevada.
