About a year and a half ago, Brad and I went for a hike back in North Fork of Horseshoe Canyon and found a big dam that was built in the 1950s to hold water to pipe down for cattle. The reservoir behind it was bone dry.

Today, we did the same hike and look what we saw.

At our house, it has rained very little so far this year (one time, less than a quarter inch), but looking at the watershed area behind this reservoir, it probably doesn’t take much to fill it up.
