In-Ko-Pah Gorge

In-Ko-Pah Gorge is a deep narrow canyon or gorge, in San Diego County and Imperial County, California. Its head is at 32°40′17″N 116°06′05″W at an elevation of 2,240 feet.[1] Myer Creek, flows down the In-Ko-Pah Gorge from its source in the Jacumba Mountains at the head of the canyon to its mouth, at an elevation of 846 feet (258 m), then eastward to its mouth where it settles into the sands of the Yuha Desert, east of Ocotillo.[2][1] Boulder Creek enters the canyon at its confluence with Myer Creek, a little over a mile below the source of Myer Creek, at an elevation of 1,775 feet (541 m).[3]

In-Ko-Pah Gorge carries the eastbound lanes of Interstate 8 through the In-Ko-Pah Mountains, while the westbound lanes use a different alignment through Devils Canyon.[4]

History

In-Ko-Pah Gorge was originally known as Myer Canyon.[5][1]

gollark: So 0, which is probably considered false.

gollark: Basically. It acts like any other block with an inventory. Probably should have said that initially.
gollark: The chest is beside the turtle, yes? As they are adjacent there is one direction (north, south, west, east, up or down), which would take you from the position of the chest to that of the turtle if you were to walk that way. You can pull items from the turtle by using that direction as the from argument.
