Water at the Colorado Cabin!

The excuse for the trip to the Colorado Cabin this week was to hook up a pipe line and a pump to pump water from the creek into the water tanks.  In the past we had water hauled in.  It had become very expensive.  

There was work to be done, but there was also beautiful scenery and wild animals to enjoy.

We spotted a mother elk.....

and her baby at the side of the road.  So cute!

But, then there was the work to be done....

Checking out the pipe line...

Checking out the pump.....

Ellie was supervising.......

And then, after it was all hooked up, the pump was started and the water came gushing through the line into the tank.  It worked.  The 1100 gallon tank filled in about 15 minutes!!
