Dip - Do Not Enter When Flooded
These signs are all over Tucson, a city where washes flow across streets. It's an opportunity to see how human-built habitat and natural spaces collide. Arroyo Chico runs through several Tucson neighborhoods before empytying into the Santa Cruz River. It provides habitat, shade, and migration routes to numerous fauna and flora.
You don't need to enter the wash to find this cache, and you definitely shouldn't enter if there is water flowing. Be smart and safe! There is a Stupid Motorist Law that states that any motorist who becomes stranded after driving around barricades to enter a flooded stretch of roadway may be charged for the cost of their rescue. The law corresponds to section 28-910 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. (Wikipedia).
