My family came through the Big Thompson Canyon in Colorado mere hours before the 1976 flood; we should have stayed the hell out, but we made it before the flood. <br /><br />In my safety classes, we've learned that because of the physics involved, as noted in this article, it only takes about two feet of water to float most passenger vehicles away, and it only takes 6 inches to knock a person off their feet. Once down, you can get hit by anything, and recovering your feet is difficult. I hadn't even considered the sand scouring effect; one more hazard!

It is a land of extremes.

Very challenging landscape and I'm glad the guide was cautious.Patti Phillipshttp://www.kerriansnotebook.comnoreply@blogger.com
