Well time to go.  I am leaving here tomorrow morning to head for Missouri.  
Baring problems I expect to be there at least by Sunday if not sooner.  
Planned route is here to Barstow the 40 to 44 to Springfield.

Gene, are you using the concept of seal as in building a
spring house over it? It is already sealed by the metal
door, but it is our only water source so I would not want
to close it off for good and have to spend thousands I
don't have to drill one I can't get a bucket into if I
suddenly find myself in a world without electricity.

Hopefully the septic reroute has unblocked some stagnation
in the feng shui of this old house.--S
