Oh your Marble hike must have been in the vicinity of the 15th / 16th? We were on the other side of the valley looking at the geoglyphs and saw the cottonwoods getting totally hammered. That's Tucki on the other side of the basin so the Marble area is in the midst of that really big dark cloud. It is really amazing to see the washout down at the camp area (which I presume is just inside the "gates" of the joint canyon?) and actual water flowing in Marble!

We even put on rain pants, and got some hail. There was a tremendous dust blow on the valley floor that preceded a different storm cell that breezed over Corkscrew in the early afternoon.
