I thought everybody knew about the backwards flowing Odaroloc river.

Sounds like catastrophic climate change.

This has been discovered before 30 or 40 years ago.

“The modern Colorado River’s headwaters are in the Rocky Mountains, flowing southEAST to the river’s mouth in the Gulf of California. “

I’m pretty sure the last time I checked, like just this morning, California would be southWEST of Colorado.

This is not my favorite story about an Arizona River.

During World War II, a captured German Navy captain and other sailors were in a prisoner of war camp northeast of downtown Phoenix. He got hold of a map showing they were only a couple of miles from the Gila River. The Gila flows through central Arizona, onward to the Colorado, then into the Gulf of California. Using cast-off stuff and Obermann Super Reasoning and Intelligence, Das Boot guys built a make-shift craft and made a break for it, the Master Race men carrying their boat to the River.

What the Master Race guys didn't know until they got the river, is that the Gila is, was and has been a dry riverbed for decades, ever since the upstream dams were built upstream to conserve water and control floods. You would have thought that such superior moon would have known that before hustling a boat all that way.

What could be more exciting than being a sediment researcher?

Thanks decimon. 55 million years ago a river as big as the modern Colorado flowed through Arizona into Utah in the opposite direction from the present-day river. Writing in the October issue of the journal Geology, they have named this ancient northeastward-flowing river the California River, after its inferred source in the Mojave region of southern California. Delta's ready when you are. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

What source? What would the source be exactly?
