Pipe Dream

These large pipes designed to carry flood waters are everywhere out west. It is incredible that in areas that receive so little rainfall, that floods from rains sometimes tens or hundreds of miles away can come rushing down the mountains with such force that roadways can be washed away if not for these drainage culverts. In this particular culvert, there were two of these pipes, both large enough for me to walk through without ducking. The little boy that lurks within me drew me inside.
