Tanks around here.
It's amazing how few people know what a "branch" is..............
I always thought it was a "Spring" .........yes?.....no?
If Jim will allow me to jump in here, realizing that regional differences may define things differently, a branch is a low place to which rain water runs. It may have water in "water holes" most of the time or may be bone dry except in periods of high rain fall. By definition it is a tributary to a pond, lake ,creek, river, maybe an ocean(?).;
In high rainfall a branch may look like a creek and many people mistake them for creeks.
The steep sides of fairly deep branches with a lot of mud make excellent places for idiot bovines to get in and bog down and not be able to get back out. :help:
Often they just go nowhere. They just end. I mean branches, (although you can say the same things about bovines). Maybe they end up as branch water in bourbon :drink:
Branches are not spring fed to any appreciable extent. If they were they would be creeks instead of branches.
A creek is like a little river.Normally is a stream of flowing water.
Down this- a- way, a crick is a stiff, sore neck. ( I know a massage therapist that can fix that right up. Let me know if you need her name.)
