Another of your "small" projects involving creativity, then intensive time and labor, plus additions and corrections. You imagine it and then make it happen!
It’s quite a story, all the effort you put into creating a cistern in the desert with the mountain view and the travails over the years that made it so hard to maintain. You are philosophical about the animals that raided it, and forgiving about the migrants and “coyotes” who took their sips but left trash. It seems like a memory that will stay close to your heart. My son Tyler whom you mentored loves those mountains, and going camping there.
Well Walter, once again you show yourself as able a man as I've ever encountered. I tried something similar in Colorado, building a small catchment on a steep slope. It silted up and nothing remains of it today and the property was sold. But oh, those days when I could hall bags of Portland cement up the high angle hillside on my twenty year old back! I very much admire your generosity of spirit toward the various beneficiaries of your labors.

An impressive project Walter, with many themes and meanings flowing along with the water itself! 👏
To everything there is a season ...
