My pleasure.

I vaguely remember reading at least 30 years ago about an underground river 250 miles wide flowing off the west coast. I think they said it was centered around the Klamath River.

My go to book whenever I get cocky and need to be knocked down a notch.

Any water I know of around here above the Roubidoux is so hard and nasty you have to chew it but you will never need a laxative. People around here that know would rather have rural water than electricity. Our well, before rural water, was 300’ deep and poor in volume and quality. It is the coal seams I guess. We had to replace the lifetime glass lined water tanks just about yearly. The water would corrode the bronze jets in the jet pump inside a year. I know, Dad and I pulled the two strings of slick poly pipe many times and it was heavy!

All this in spite of having nearly 50 inches of rain a year.

Some of the few older folks around here, I am nearing that status myself, say if you go below 150’ forget about it so I am considering building a drilling rig and try a hole or two. We water the garden from the pond and that seems to work OK.

I surveyed with Dad in Michigan in the 50s. Flat as a pool table. You could run a line of levels for miles and not vary more than a few tenths.

By contrast...lake superior has 2900 cubic miles of water.

Lot of water flows out of the Klamath.

Tenths of what? I've heard this about Michigan before (oddly enough, from some musician, from the stage, and he was from the real pool table, Indiana) and been puzzled by it. It isn't a mountain range, lots of flat *spots* that were formerly glacial meltwater late beds (the muck farms are found there now), but is hilly.

Survey? Level? Feet.

[frank ballenger]

Thanks for all those links about mysterious water under the ocean.
I’ll read them all and get back to you around Thanksgiving.
Thanks again.

[SunkenCiv]

So, a tenth of a foot? I drove home through the orchard country (detour) late tonight, nothing but up and down, all the way.

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure.

I see no reason to simply resort to this when (as stated) Auto-excerpt "will attempt to excerpt the first paragraphs up to about 100 words Or, you may choose to return to Edit the article yourself. Be sure to check "This is an excerpt." on the edit form" and which will allow up to 300 words. Plus you provided no date, author or topics, which are asked or provided for. This would get more of your article read.

That is not the area.
