    We need to water more for the first two weeks, its quite wet and underneath is wet, but NOT spongy. Cool I was born and raised an hour west of that place in your link and a bit south.

    So-- my neighbor is MUCH closer to the water and setting up a pump from the lake, said I could fill up anytime (after its up and running, ours is just far enough and will be running over BLM land so kind worried hikers and shooters might see the hose and report it), so next choice is a trailer light enough for me to hitch that can carry a water tank (gravity feed to lawn), or get the M35 registered and figure out how to add the brake fluid and get a 1,000 tank on it, take either to neighbors and fill up :thumbs:.

    OR, if the lake water gets as high as the shareholders say, I could consider a pump (we have 240 pole out there from when we lived in the RV that one summer). It would end up being an above ground cistern like bushpilot has, and guess try cattle heaters or similar for spring/fall, drain for the winter. So many possibilities, woooo!! For now, WWW said he will bring home like 5 tanks a week to run through our house/hose.

    It turned out BETTER than I thought it could. We had good monsoons late this summer. Last cut before winter, check out how much of it survived, and I dare say thrive?

    Thank you for the Iris Chvymn99 , a few are peeking up on the bottom of the pic :)
