Current well running low? How deep is it and how deep for the new one?

yes our well ran low this year for the first time. We had to have water delivered. It may pick back up next year but we cannot chance it. We are down to 560ft in old well. We knew there was likely a good well site down lower on our property near a seasonal creek. But there was no access to it. So we had to cut a new road in from the side. Hoping to hit good water at 200ft in new well. Further up the draw from this spot is where we hope to find our gold mine. When we bought this property we received documents that we own the mineral rights to the old gold mine from the 1800's that's on the property. This is the mother load country.

I have a couple of tractors, one old farmall, and a Kubota. I don’t loan them out, they are stupid expensive to fix. Especially if you have to go to a dealership. I busted a pto gear box on a international once. ( my machine) Over $1k for parts, and a lot of heavy labor for me. I always wanted a backhoe, but friends of mine that have them, complain about fixing old ones all the time. And they don’t loan them out, not only repair cost, but potential liability.

I'd already done something stupid so when my group of engineers brought it up as the new hotness I figured I could lose $20.00 on it. It's earmarked to go to my EE son. He can deal with it.

Refilled my joint supply. These a just so handy. That's about 55 per jar :D
Got some out on the Appalachian Trail for easter eggs next year & gave away some to the last thru hikers this year.
Got 2 more tough hiking sections to make drops at for next years hikers, still need an alias aka trail name.
I found buds and roaches at shelters years ago, thought I'd return the trail mojo with overgrow.

That is so cool....I have watched several thru-hike chronicles from PCT hikers, Mexico to Canada, and to see and hear their reaction to "trail Magic" from "trail angels" is priceless. You have made friends for life. Congratulations. :clap:

These guys set up a hot coffee and home made apple donut station at a road crossing the same day, hard to compete with that mojo.
Someone else set up a big first aid box at section that is like hand to hand combat to get over, that was thoughtful.

The southern section of the Pacific Crest Trail passes thru the Mohave Desert. Trail angels haul water cashes miles into the desert for hikers...
