Geez, Kamron, you sure know how to paint broad strokes. 🙂 Rivers occur anywhere water overfills a basin and continues to supply that basin. Rivers can, and do, then proceed to cut canyons through erosive means. I'm afraid I have to take exception to your painting style. Perhaps it's time to say things like "In some cases…" or "perhaps…" eh? Ben Williams Suffering from an overdose of common sense
