Very nice!

That's one of the few spots I haven't been to on the C&T. Sure would be neat to see that working someday.

Sharon, this is Pump House for Lava Tank. It's just south of the tank and balloon loop.

Here's a map:

I'd like to hear a report on the wildlife they might have had to mingle with during this project. This is probably the least seen place on the entire RR. Need to get there sometime.

Jason, it is a beautiful location, but the mosquitos were TERRIBLE! We must have sprayed each other 3 times on Thursday. Popeye was up there wearing a tank top and he had to flock him good with OFF as he was losing too much blood!

Sounds like my backyard. We've had nearly 50" of rain this year.
