What I keep is a drop in the bucket but provides valuable, much needed habitat for wildlife. My sister's place is along the same arroyo below my dams and since I've built the dams 15 years ago her place has noticed no less flow than before. For big dams, especially places along the upper Rio Grande, that irrigate endless fields and orchards there may be a legitimate complaint however.Carolyn Ohl-Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031703938914548677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-59124493830254103562011-03-29T19:29:20.490-05:002011-03-29T19:29:20.490-05:00Some very interesting stuff today, John.

The geocaching looks very fun and adventuresome.

He made some really cool ones out of logs by cutting little drawers that slide out of the logs to put the loot into. The logs are in plain sight but blend right in with nature so people have a fun time trying to find them. Yep, you're gonna get more visitors with that nearby :o)ezrabluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938990830254680085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-56812388509775812782011-03-28T14:08:17.431-05:002011-03-28T14:08:17.431-05:00A geocache placement eh?

I will be logging the cache when I am there, but I wonder who will be FTF (first to find), for it is the true gold ring for many cachers...Cindy Talbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08411230171678289022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-58082029491951178452011-03-28T13:38:46.017-05:002011-03-28T13:38:46.017-05:00When you dam up a water source in the desert don&#...When you dam up a water source in the desert don't you deprive the downstream animals and plants the water they depend on?Stoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611978077314898348noreply@blogger.com
