[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1547934, member: 80288"] Scrmblr, About 30 - 50 miles North of Phoenix, the elevation starts climbing and there is a total change in plant life, topography, temperature and about everything else. At Flagstaff, the terran, and plant life would remind you of almost Eastern Washington/Oregon. Big pines, etc. There are also a number of rivers flowing through and around the the area called the Mongollan rim. Also down here in Southern Arizona, there are a number of rivers that flow periodically and a substantial number of springs. The reason the hogs haven't hit southern Arizona is that once leaving El Paso and all across the south of New Mexico, there are not many places that have open water. Water is there, but mostly underground and has to be drilled and pumped. the hogs just can't carry enough canteens to make it across the desert from El Paso to about Wilcox, Arizona. Arizona has quite a bit of water falling through what is called the monsoon season here, but it all goes underground fairly quickly. I.E. we may get 3" in an hour, but 2 hours later it has all sunk into the earth. And the 3" an hour is not an exaggeration. During the Monsoon season (July, August and Early Sept.) we may get 8-10" of rain, but it all happens at once, at different times,then disappears within hours. Hope I answered your question, if not query me again. Yeah, I miss djones too, but it sure smells better around here with him gone!
