Is THAT the hill the water has to be pumped up to get to Lava tank?
You always hear about it but that is the first photo I have actually seen, that is a mighty hill to pump water up.

That is correct Tom, the mountain behind the second to last photo showing Wayne and Sam digging and John Stover supervising is the one we have to shove the water up. We have to push water 400+feet vertical , and through about a half mile of pipe. We had some time left over this week after we got the GRAMPS car on trucks so we went to Lava pump house to dig up the pipe where the leak was. We will return in Sept with two pumps so stay tuned.
