Congratulations - you really deserve a wonderful place like this. I look forward to following your adventures there thru permies. Thanks for sharing so much information and carrying the pod people along for the ride!

Yeh earthworks that bring back creeks! I am working toward bringing back several old springs on my land - am planning the earthworks now. Will build them as soon as I can get the money together.

Dowsed spot produced a layer of rocks over super compacted clay with a layer of wet clay underneath.

Good signs.

Clay is formed into a snake 8 or so inches, easily.

Oh wow. In your positions I think I would strongly look at earth building techniques like rammed earth or compressed earth block with clay like that.

But of course, you have a great many resources from which to choose. Looks great.

I think this is the first time I've seen a picture of my ear. It looks like I might have some elf heritage. Or vulcan.

This was my first time trying the dowsing thing. There was a spot where the wires moved. All three of us did it. A little unnerving.

I got this idea that it would be cool to stand at the top of the cliff and get one of those little helicopters with a camera on it and have it fly in - like that would make an excellent video intro for my vids. But they sounds freaky expensive and it sounds like they have very limited range.

Paul, a quad copter that can record video and be controlled with your ipad is just $300. I would say it would be well worth the money

Make an amazon wish list and put the drone in it, then give naming rights to whoever buys it for you. The land looks amazing. I am super excited to see the theory put into practice.

Range of that is 165 feet. While there are some good uses, I think the cliff thing would need something more like 300 feet.
