I always wondered about this part of the lyrics, because in the western deserts what he was (most likely) referring to is typically called a 'wash', and its not really dead. Water flows through them when it rains, but that's infrequent enough that they dry up for long periods of time.
thank you!
oh yeah. Navajo Bridge, vermillon cliff, Lees Ferry...
So, for soith rim, it will be 89 south to cameron, then 64 toward grand canyon village.
Yes, there are many viewpoint along the road.
I suggest you first book your place at the campground (mathers campground) since it is very touristic. People with RV have to book their places 6 months in advance, and I saw many turn around cause the campground was full. But, just with a small tent, it is probably more easy.
From Grand Canyon, I think you are only 2 hours away from flagstaff. Nice koa there. Otherwise, from flagstaff, the 89A is a must do road, toward sedona. I suggest Cavespring campground, along the oak creek river.
Phoenix is a few more hours away, more to the south.
Sedona also has a unique landscape to offer. Very touristic place also.
but there's still water flowing, just not at the rate that nature and gravity decided it should run, so describing it as 'dead' wouldn't apply.There is also another possibility.
Since he is sad, for the river who flowed there before, and is now dead, it could be a reference to the dam they put at page, and now the colorado itself is just... well, just a pale reflect of what it was before, when you see the giant cliff carved by it, in the past thousands years.
U guys are way too deep. It was a good friggin song!but there's still water flowing, just not at the rate that nature and gravity decided it should run, so describing it as 'dead' wouldn't apply.
After I posted my original reply it also occurred to me that in SoCal we have lots of actual named rivers that are dry most of the time, but in the context of the song I don't think they would have been the subject, since they're located in more developed areas and closer to the coast than in the open desert.
Most likely the result of a Londoner mistaking a wash for a former river.
for 50 years I never had an excuse to discuss it with anybody, because it was too trivial, so this just seemed like the time.U guys are way too deep. It was a good friggin song!
Very didactick!for 50 years I never had an excuse to discuss it with anybody, because it was too trivial, so this just seemed like the time.
Been thru the marraige on a wife with no........It's a desert song anyway...
So we're not "off topic".
I was there 07 by myself. what a great place. Will have to go back again some days!Kodachrome state park is cool if you have time, and hwy 12
I've been there! When I want to ride my bike the weather isn't a big concern when taking off, it's one of those obstacles that feeds the adrenaline I seem to crave.Just left north jersey. 42 degrees and raining. Freezing my butt off but heading west. The rain is from the southwest andshould run out soon.
I have no idea! I tend toward the less populated places. I live on the fourteenth floor, so everything here is a total gas!Not gonna go to Winslow, AZ and stand on the corner? You never know, that flatbed Ford could be looking for ya....
