San Gorgonio River

The San Gorgonio River is a 26.8-mile-long (43.1 km)[1] river primarily flowing in western Riverside County, with a small upstream section in southwestern San Bernardino County, in southern California.

Geography

The river's headwaters arise in the San Bernardino Mountains, southwest of San Gorgonio Mountain at the southern base of Galena Peak within Sand to Snow National Monument. The source is at 34°02′28″N 116°51′06″W[2] and an elevation of approximately 5600 feet at the confluence of Burnt and Sawmill canyons.[3]

The river flows southwest through Banning Canyon then cuts back southeast through the town of Banning, California. It then heads east to its confluence with the Whitewater River in the western Coachella Valley at 33°54′12″N 116°37′41″W and an elevation of 1096 feet.[2] It drains the land east of the San Gorgonio Pass, while the South Fork of the Santa Ana River drains the land west.

The river is intermittent, with significant flow only following winter storms and snowmelt in the spring.

gollark: Well, you could make it more annoying by having your code execute entirely out of order.
gollark: This is not really, as far as I know, practical for machine-code-y systems, because they don't need to go through a function call or whatever to load new code for execution.
gollark: What I had to do one time to reverse some obfuscated code on potatOS was hook `load` to log newly loaded code to a file, it's called "Protocol Epsilon debug mode" and is still in there.
gollark: I'm assuming you don't mean "polymorphism" in the sense of "functions which can take/return multiple types"?
gollark: no.
