I am a ways north of N'Awlins. ( Crescent City water does in fact make some fine coffee and some fine gumbo; even a good brew or two !) I am on the Ouachita ( into Black, into Red, into Mississippi). Taste is not a problem with my local water. The problem is a continuing depletion of our Sparta aquifer which supplies north LA and south Ark. I probably won't be here, but that will be a "bad" day indeed, when the fresh-water runs out. And it may come sooner than we think. I'm as optimistic as anyone and live a pretty simple lifestyle ...primitive camp ....enjoy the water without an exhaust pipe ....no trophy hunting or fishing ...keep my VW bus alive. When I can I like to visit Mammoth Spring in north Ark on Spring River. They say 9 million gallons an hour and mid 50's. Looks like more than that, and feels colder than that to me. It's a beautiful spot and some fine CI-II water always "on" .....so far at least ! ....adieu .....Peyton (Louisiana) ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
