Lot's of Rain

Thursday began the extensive rain period. We received 3.5 inches in the first 24 hour period and another 1.5 inches on Friday and Friday night. The tank did fill and ran over the spillway for only the second time ever. All the dirt work I did after the big rain in the spring of 2003 worked very well. I built berms to divert the water to go behind the cabin and they did their job. First really big rain and first time they were tested since then. Other berms built to divert or direct water also worked. The road to the house did pretty good, a few gullies formed, but they can be repaired. All the neighbors tanks filled including several new ones. They all look real good, much better than the old TOR tank, but it's the only one we have. It's amazing how green everything is this year compared to last.

A much needed good rain.
