Yep right in the middle of the Permian Basin. Rain is hit or miss, in the last two years I’ve caught less than 15 inches about 5 years ago I caught over 40 inches. On the average I’ll get 14 to 16 inches per year. I’d rather have an oil spill than a saltwater spill, oil does far less damage.

Tampa, Florida averages 7 inches per month in the summer, which would serve to wash away salt faster. Like I said, the speed with which salt gets washed out depends on the rainfall and how well the soil drains.
