Ok, so here is the story:
I have been considering this as a possible lake sight and had the following thread:
http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=215241#Post215241Long story short, mike tells me that my ravine, and terrain are both A++; and will make one of the coolest bass lakes with natural cuts and structure that he has looked at in a long time.
Felt my Clay availability was B level; satisfactory, but worried about the amount of gypsum rock in the layers of soil.
Otto also pointed out much evidence that a large amount of water has been flowing into the "mini grand canyon" as he called it. felt water availability was B+ level.
I will take some photos soon, and let you see what Mike and I are so excited about... now it is time to get some earth moving equipment going..... (after I save some more... rather large, deep dam.)
