[TheForge] Re: Fire Hydrant

Better yet, dam the stream and use the "mill pond" for both your water supply and water pressure.  Allow enough head to filter the water so the sprinkler heads don't get plugged

	No Ike.  When I say this is in the middle of nowhere, think of the 
stretches of desert north of Cave Creek and around Black Canyon City, 
etc.  That's similar to the kind of nowhere I mean, though not quite as 
vast.  Everyone is on well or spring water in the area unless you're in 
town and I will be 10 miles out.

	That's not a half bad idea.  I'm thinking of damming the creek to maybe 
a 10' head.  Given the lay of the land I'm sure that would provide a 
couple hundred thousand gallons' volume.  A pump with a line in... 
maybe one day.

	Thanks.

	Do you miss the desert?
