You sound like my daughter!
She sees a hot springs resort in her future. ROFL!

I'll be sure to let you know when the geysers start.

I thought we were out of the Lassen magma area, but don't know for sure.
If this is just a part of the inland heating it could sure turn out to be good. I'd be the closest hot springs to Sacramento, I think.

Anyway, I've got a couple of strange SUVs heading up my road, so my answer may be near. Gotta go...

Great poem.....he's become a cult figure! :)

First, a little pixie dust. Then everybody clap their hands, and... poof! LittleJoe reappears.

(We could try it.)

[vikingchick]

Ha ha!

This story might have to be relegated to the Cold Case Files.

THERE are no black SUV's!
There is NO conspiracy.
I am the Cabal of ONE!
I am the THIRD man on the grassy knoll!
I.. *knock at the door* ..what?

Umm.. yes? Hey.. who ARE you guys?

Keep that tranq away from me, I won't go ba..

Unit 'Darksheare' has been neutralized.
Please move along, there is nothing to see here.
Ignore the men behind the door.

BTTT Where's Waldo?

[GOPJ]

You win, that's strange...

[vikingchick]

I will look for it. Thanks, Axenolith.

[Ichneumon]

Bump.

LittleJoe,
where you go?

[cibco]

A new day and the questions remain...

[Axenolith]

BTTT Where's Waldo?

Huh??? Went right over my head. Reference to a character or LJ?

[Rocky]

"Where's Waldo?"

A children's activity from several years ago. There would be a big picture with lots of people, and you were supposed to find "Waldo" amongst them. You used to be able to buy activity books with lots of "Where's Waldo?" pictures in them. Kept the kids out of mischief for a while.

You can do a search on the internet and get quite a few hits on "Where's Waldo?" There was apparently even a video game based on it.

Where's LittleJoe?

[cibco]

Yep!

[Axenolith]

Oh, I knew what Waldo was but I was thinking it was some type of allusion I wasn't getting :)

[XHogPilot]

Somebody ping me when LittleJoe surfaces. Woops, dinner time, got to LittleJoe now.

Sorry guys, got a little busy around here.
The SUV was a geologist the well guy called. This is not as rare as I thought. But it's good luck for me. I'll now be able to heat my home from that well.

I have another well two hundred feet from this one that I haven't used in years. I put a new pump in it and it's cold.

The hot well was sandy, which caused problems. About five years ago this well caved in and had to be recased. I've needed to blow the sand out of it several times. The hot water flow started after I blew it the last time.

In a nutshell, the geologist thinks the hot water is directly below the well, so I'm going to take it down another hundred feet and see if I get hotter water. I have enough hot water to keep my home at 78* through the winter, or so the heating guy tells me. If I get hotter going down, I'll be able to heat the pool too!

The theory is that the San Andreas fault is becoming inactive and a new fault is forming inland. I need to research this, but it looks like there will be more earthquakes and volcanic activity in the future in this area.

This was a very active area in ancient times. Many mineral deposits and faults. Don't know yet if this is new or was here all along. The rising water table may be a seasonal thing, I haven't kept records to verify my observations.

The water has just a trace of sulpur and iron, according to the preliminary test. I'll be getting a full report on the water samples they took. Copper is the main contaminant in this area, but it looks like I'm ok there.

Anyway, this has been a huge stroke of good luck for me!

Welcome back LittleJoe!

Many were quite worried about you and will be quite delighted that you have come back to let us know about your new hot spring!

This has been a very interesting thread and I, for one, have learned quite a bit about the geothermal activity up your way.

I'm in awe that you won't have to depend on anything other than your new hot water to heat your home. How very kewl!

Thank you for letting us know more about this.
