Mason,

Yep maybe we're related. According to my aunt and her geneology research the Bairds came over from England in 1650 but the name was originally Beard changed to Baird because folks pronounced it wrong. Not sure what that was all about. LOL Even had an ancestor fight in the revolutionary war. A Tavern that was used in the 1700's for stagecoach stops called the Baird Tavern still exists in the Berkshires as a B&B, which was owned by one of my ancestors. Just one more boring fact: One of my ancestors had a tiff with his church because he went Shad seining on the Sabbath. My how things have changed!

Hey have you made a decision on the well yet? Being close to a river you should have plenty of ground water, and there's a strong possibility you may have artesion flow. I would research that if you haven't already. Artesian would mean no pumping necessary! I'd kill for that.

I think if you could have trout year around you'd be amazed at how big you can get them!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
