The setting is about a quarter mile in from Highway 190 where the mud puddle spanned nearly all the way across the graded Twenty Mule Team Canyon Road so those deep, long, straight cracks are about six feet in length and several inches deep. It was early morning and they were still frozen on the surface. I'm glad I did not attempt to drive through this spot because my Subaru Crosstrek would have become mired down. I drove in on the graded road the wrong way because I knew the gate was closed at the entrance to the canyon and I would not encounter any vehicles driving up the correct direction. You can see someone's foot prints in the mud as the road turns south. The last scene you can see two people walking up the road from the closed gate entrance to the canyon where the road is completely destroyed by the flash flood waters.
