Nope. It was hit with a big rock.
Which apparently fell during the second of the past several days’ terrifying storms.
Normally at this part of Monsoon I can use the wash for a transport route even if the roads are impassible – which they are. But there are unpredictable parts of the wash so saturated with water…
…that they’ll try to pull the boots off the unwary. There’s no way I’m bringing the Jeep in here; we’ve had floods three of the past four evenings and any vehicle that gets stuck in the wash will stay in the wash. More soon: I had an uberpost planned but the weather is screwing with my internet connection and the pictures are moving slow.
That anchor/rock may turn out to be a blessing.
