Frozen water, mountain spring water, and sheep

Made our way up to Taylor Reservoir. A very different story than the last time we did this in winter. It was minus 14 then and this time 16 above. One lone fisherman was preparing to try the "hog trough" and only one shed out on the water at the reservoir ice fishing. There were driveways plowed out along the way in the isolated areas, hearty people - wait a minute, I guess that applies to us as well. (at least for a few weeks anyway). Saw a group of big horn sheep close to Almont as well. The wildlife sightings have been few and far between.

After Lisa sent me a link to the state of water, all kinds, and how bad most of it is for us (joy) with one exception - mountain spring water, Mark & I jumped in the jeep to go to our (not really ours but close by and free to anyone) mountain spring. Yes, it's still running 24/7 - magic. Filled up a container - we should live forever now!

We have guests coming for the weekend - Lisa and Charles. Hurray! They're driving over from Santa Fe and it may be a little snowy. We'll all enjoy the winter wonderland I guess.
