- The Town and Country hotel is in Mission Valley right in the middle of an
- ancient river bed. The roads in that area are designed to flood. When the
- rain stops, pumps clear out all the water (the roads stay washed out until the
- rain stops). It is really bad right between the Town and Country and the
- Fashion Valley Mall (right behind the hotel). It is not what comes down that
- is bad, it is that all the water drains down right behind the hotel. The ground
- is saturated and when it rains now flooding starts right away (it is raining
- again as I write this on Jan 12). You really needed a boat down there last week.
- If you are going to do any significant walking outside the hotel, those wellies
- might be nice to have.
