Eureka! We hit WATER!

We own 20 acres of wild hill side.  Last year Kurt took the excavator up the hill and dug a bunch of test holes in areas that looked like natural water-run-off areas, hoping to find some surface water.  NO luck last summer.  BUT this week we took our first Spring walk up the hill and discovered a GUSHER (or so it seems to us).  One of the test holes is filled with beautiful clear water seeping out of the hill side.  It is overflowing at a rate we estimate to be 6 or 7 gallons a minute.  This has created a new water course we have dubbed Matter Creek.
