My other grandfather unknowingly pulled a bunch of it out of their place in LV without wearing gloves or long pants/shirt and was miserable for some time!

(Someone please correct me if I've got something wrong.) When Americans bought the old San Pasqual cattle ranch, there were many springs rising along the bluffs on both sides of the river. Citrus groves were planted where the golf course is now, and pipes drilled horizontally into the bluffs to tap the water for irrigation. This is the well house of the Richardson tunnel, through which water is still flowing.Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-73627892987538263992012-11-30T09:10:53.339-08:002012-11-30T09:10:53.339-08:00It's cold and wet outside and I'm convince...It's cold and wet outside and I'm convinced something Gaelic inhabit that water ditch.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331108175137673106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-78923274839919779912012-11-30T09:09:46.539-08:002012-11-30T09:09:46.539-08:00Thank you, Valladolid!
