What would a trip to the mountain with ranchers ever be without them having to check springs and water tanks?

The dogs were getting a drink while Vernon and Daniel measure the flow. Unfortunately, it’s way down from normal.

Daniel tried to unplug the pipe, but that didn’t seem to be the problem.
Then Vernon and I started a tank in a different pasture.

Vernon closes a valve, turning part of the spring into the tank.

We were thrilled to see it fill fairly fast. At least one spring is running normal so far.
