Recent heavy rains have led to flooding along the Salt River bottom in south Phoenix. I went out to one location where several motorists had to be rescued from their cars the night before, and shot some video.
At the end of the video you will see a white pickup stop next to me. Across the street, in the upper left corner of the screen is a small wetland preserve.
The pickup is occupied by a Phoenix Police detective. He told me they have been "detailed" to check on the river bottom periodically to check for more stupid motorists. He went on to tell me they have problems with knuckleheads driving into the river bottom when it is dry (which is normal), setting up targets and shooting towards the wetland preserve. This is in the direction of nearby homes and visitors to the preserve!
The police have been having trouble catching the shooters because access to the "shooting range" is difficult and they can't get there fast enough to catch anybody "red-handed". So he asked if I would bring Solo out sometime when they have a mini task-force together, to help catch some idiots. I said sure.
I'm going to take out my 2nd Solo which is still all black and switch off all the lights using Solex even though it will be daylight. Should be interesting.
