On Wednesday, we experienced the first real rainstorm of 2008. And, in this country, when it rains like it rained on Wednesday, flash floods are the result. So, we went flood hunting. I would say that Alvey Wash, which is normally dry at this time of year, was running at about ten to fifteen thousand CFS. That is right, I said "thousand." It was a powerful flow. Plus, when Upper Valley Creek and Birch Creek got together, they made an impressive cascade at the turn-off to Main Canyon.http://picasaweb.google.com/aorlemann/EscalanteUtah

I didn't see anything that looked runable in those photos. But I'm sure saurpuss could get pagosa down the wash.
