| The Red Rock
Canyon flood of '97 was unique from the standpoint no one died, considering
both northbound lanes of Highway 14 were washed out. |

 |
 |
| A Kern County
sheriff was able to stop southbound traffic before, what he called a 6'
wall of water, came through. Note woman top right center between barricades |
|
| People headed
northbound were not as fortunate. The young woman driving this car gives
credit to a truck driver for saving her life when she was encouraged by
him to swim as hard as she could. |

 |
| The light bar
from a BLM rangers truck is all that remains of it when it was swept away
from the station. |
 |
| Another victim
of the flood, a six wheel John Deer rover, nearly buried in the wash. |
|
| Badly battered,
this tool cabinet was also washed away from the ranger station during the
flood. |
 |
| Railroad
tracks below Garlock road were hit hard. Roadbed on one side covered, the other washed
away. |
