Our Small Canyon is a Wash (In Arizona Terminology)

In an earlier blog post we described the ravine behind our trailer site as a small canyon.
That was wrong....
Upon further review it is known as a Wash.
It is approximately 100-yards wide behind our travel trailer.
This is the view from the back our our travel trailer looking north across the wash to the other side.  There is a subdivision over there.

From the small subdivision looking south --> this is our trailer in the middle of the picture above.

As dry as it is here now, the wash must have been created by Nature over hundreds of years.

Looking east you see a nearby road at the top of the picture.

This is a warning sign at that same road at the wash, so apparently really hard rainfalls can still happen here in southwest Arizona.
Hard to imagine!
