Thank you, I thank the big dude in the sky everyday for being able to live here!
Yea, my dogs have a ruff life! The black ones are lab/rottis, the red one is a Chesapeke bay retriever. They spend their days watching over me, chasing what ever furry critter they have been taught to chase and swimming in the creek!

The spring is year round. Since we have been pretty dry lately, it should be about as low as it gets. It can swell up if we get alot of rain!
The site I want to put the pond is on high ground. The spring drains into the pond in the last picture.

What's the best way to do a test dig?

And I do want to thank you for your help on this!
I really do appreciate it!
