rocks in the brakes

Just something i thought of and am curious about.

it seems like rocks get stuck in my brakes REALLY easily... like almost anytime i pass through water of any kind, i get pebbles in there.

the remedy, in case anyone is curious, is to stop, shift into reverse and back up, then go forward and back until the noise is gone.

its no big deal, and they usually clear out using that method (rather than removing the tire and flushing them out) but its annoying

anyone else get this?

Did this one with my S10, nothing yet with the Yota...*knocks on wood, but writes down the reverse trick anyway*
