This is our destination. St. Jacobs Well. It took me 20 minutes of climbing down the side of the mountain and then I arrived here. I thought it rather ugly myself and the water looked dirty. When I got home I googled it and found out that the cattle drives and wagon trains used this as a sure source of water. The pioneers thought it to be bottomless but science ruined that by proving it is 60 feet deep and spring feed. So the water no matter how it looks is pure as momma nature can make. I hope you have all enjoyed our little tour of the well and surrounding prarie.

A fine ending to your prairie series BTK. Good information and the shot is really colorful. The water is so smooth and still. It sure conjures up some cool thoughts. Good post.

Hopefully my photos and stories will let you know what makes me Tick
This is so detailed, it almost looks like an etching... and the history of the singular spring-fed watering hole is intriguing.

Good shot of this Billy. Would not have seen it otherwise. Thank you for the shot and the information on it. 60 feet deep would have seemed bottomless at that time I am sure.
