Not sure if it is normal or not Derek, but the picture I seen last week, it was above the ankles and all the way to roads end. Check these out. Maybe some wind and sun and all will be good. Lets hope so. Mark.

There is no "normal" for the Salt! Lots of rain on El Mirage yesterday, that's not normal either. Good luck on the Salt.
