HI klay,

loved it! Ranger was not really taxed but the adventure is super! I so wish I had video of some of our Travers City 4x4 evaluations where you see extreme articulation of our trucks...Sadly the route was closed to vehicles due to environmental opposition to vehicular powered vehicle...

So we recreated this on the Romeo Proving Grounds in an off road course...except for the running water...

It is what it is...

Best,
Phil

Appreciate the kind words. Had the conversation with a good friend if we had these cameras and phones when we were young we'd be YouTube famous!

It's always hard to capture the terrain, it looks smoother in video than what it actually is. The county roads in southern MO get rougher than some trails and forest roads. Confident with editing photos, still have quite a bit to learn with video. Once I feel more confident want to document and maybe start a Youtube focused more on our Missouri adventures. With that said here's a few more of my boring videos that go along with the pictures posted above.

Was too windy to get video with the drone but did manage to get a few captures.

is there a story behind why the well is just running?

Looks like a spring or it's just piped from higher grounds. Anyway the logical explanation is that the reservoir is higher up than the well hole and makes it jump a feet or so. Possibly a underneath clay barrier which was broken when the well was made.

Same reason why the water flows out from the tap.

Hi Folks,

Spent several hours looking at photo albums of my 25 years of managing Ford Truck's Off Road Racing.

There is a story, and someone linked it.
The explanation is there.

Hi Bladimir,

This was in addition to my day job, but a ton of challenges to get our ducks in a row and satisfaction that our win rate was 3 times that of all the competition brands combined... It was a power house in creation... Hope it continues in the off road racing community!

Best,
Phil

Historically south eastern Missouri has been mined for minerals and ores. A majority of the Artesian wells were drilled as test pits, others were drilled by settlers for a fresh water source.

This explains the mechanics of an Artesian aquifer if anyone was interested.

Mojave Desert Southern California, They call this Mojave Road where it goes through Afton Canyon. One of the only places the Mojave River flows to the surface, it is a underground river.
