For those allergic to the dust this isn’t the place to be right now. This fine silty dust makes great base when it’s wet but when it’s dry it’s everywhere.
Sometimes you just have to revert to old tried and true techniques like divining or water witching. Watch the two copper rods cross as Bob crosses the water line we were looking for.
Many people don’t believe in this but we used it a few times today with great success. We have rods that you can all try sometime when you are here. Some people can and some people can’t.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
These hydrants are winter ready because they drain when you turn them off as you can see in this illustration. It is extremely important that you turn these all the way off to prevent bursting and costly repairs you’d be responsible for.
Fully closed. No frost risk
Not fully closed nor fully open. Water supply is off but hydrant isn’t drained. FROST RISK
Fully Open. FROST RISK
You will see an extra brass fitting on the end where you attach your hose. This is a back pressure relief valve to prevent damage inside your RV should there ever be blockage or water hammer from a sudden pressure increase. You will see water come out of this when your hose is attached and you turn off the water. This is perfectly normal.
So, please make sure turning your hydrant to the fully closed position is part of your preparation for departure every time you leave for extended periods.
