I always had water witching on the same list as Ouiji boards, crystal balls, and mood rings. Perhaps it was bias but I did find the cable. Not crazy, just really confused now.

Looks like fun except for that camera guy that ran into the same tree twice. Is that your property? Awesome place!

You forgot to list Tarot cards and Runes...here you go:
Water Dowsing | U.S. Geological Survey
"Water dowsing" refers in general to the practice of using a forked stick, rod, pendulum, or similar device to locate underground water, minerals, or other hidden or lost substances, and has been a subject of discussion and controversy for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Somebody reaches around behind you and touches the dowsing stick with only finger tips making that stick twist out of your hands, you will be convinced there is possibly something more to it. Most of the wells I had drilled were located by 3 different dowsers and at 3 different occasions. Very strange they all identified the same spots to try drilling, but also very reassuring. None of them claimed to know how deep the water is, only that there was a strong or weak pull. 2 of them used wood and the professional driller uses steel wire, suggesting it is the person and not the device that makes dowsing work. The wood stuck is more impressive because after they are done, the wood dowsing stick is a twisted mess or they didn't locate any water.
Want to know where there is a good source for well water; in the olden days when they wanted to locate a church somewhere, the first thing they did was witch for water, and naturally the last thing they did was to start burying dead bodies right next to it

Yep.
The big problem I have with dowsing is they can never tell you how deep the water is and in our province you are going to hit water, at some point, pretty much anywhere you drill. If you end up $10k deep, was the dowser right?Somebody reaches around behind you and touches the dowsing stick with only finger tips making that stick twist out of your hands, you will be convinced there is possibly something more to it.

They can't tell if it is salt water either, I drilled 2 salt water wells, had to head up hill to find fresh water
and lots of holes can be dry of water particularly when you are drilling into limestone, so you dowse during the dry season. If you hit oil diamonds jade or gold instead of water, it's still a win

I just decided I'm going to ban the use of motorcycle horns in my woods, unless it's to signal an emergency.

Cant say I have ever used my horn while riding off road? Is this a Canadian thing?
They're handy on blind pinch points on trails.

I've been letting qualified enduro riders use my trails given a few rules, the horn rule just became one of a very few rules.

That's Josh's dog Zuma. Bunch of riders here today, our club invested in a Live Laps timing system for our hard enduro events and we're going to do some practice laps to figure out how it works.
The timer sounds cool.
