Flash flood in AZ
FN If you stop or camp in a flash flood area out west you better be aware of the weather forecast. This happens every couple of years. Best thing is don't park or camp in arroyos

Out West unless you are very familiar and know the road as good as your hand,
NEVER, NEVER ENTER A WASH THAT HAS WATER FLOWING, specially muddy water the flash flood can and does erode the pavement and the culvert tubes and leaves a channel that can be several feet deep.
It can also rain in the mountains several miles away and bee perfectly dry where you are and have a flash flood go through the wash and sweep everything away.
Pay attention to weather reports and signs and also seek local advice, those of us that live out west know a thing or two about flash floods.
