Of the two big streams that flow through our place, one goes by eleven 
private properties before it gets here and one goes by none, ours is the 
first 
privately held land that it sees.

The latter stream is so clean you could safely dip up the water and drink it. 
 The former, going by only eleven homes, you wouldn't dare.  A while back we 
discovered that the fellow running a meth lab up the hollow was dumping his 
waste in the stream.  Fortunately he is cooling his heels in prison for a 
long 
time now, but it illustrates the point.
