Capt Ron says: I went back to where I was born and raised and here’s The Century’s old artisan well (we called it The Flow-box because water flowed into it from a natural ground fed spring)where we use to bucket water into the house to drink or wash dishes or clothes or heat on the coal stove to bathe with… the old house is completely decayed into the soil now and nature has reclaimed the land on which it was built…. the old wooden lid has rotted away..I’m gonna go back and clean it back out it’s about 3 Ft deep and I’m going to build a lid back over it for prosperity. #springwater #artisianwell #countrylife #ruralliving #rfd #homelife #southernliving #downhome #backintheday #creeklife #shoreredneck #guilfordcreek #thecove #esva #liquidmemories #virginia #fish #crab #southerncrabber #commercialwaterman #grundens #skifflife #saltlife

It is a gift when you still get to go home. Good for you?

I wouldn’t know what I was looking at, but your description makes it pretty special.

@wildbill4214 Thank you, It is pretty special… It provides fresh drinking water to My Grandfather and Grandmother for over 80 years and their kids and My Parents and all of us kids for many years… I’m going back to remove all the limbs and twigs and decayed leaves that have overtaken it in the last 30years and bring it back to fresh clear flowing spring water in remembrance of my grandparents and ancestors that lived here.
