I could have possibly pleaded ignorance, I suppose, if only I hadn't looked up and seen the lone "No Tresspassing" sign. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughts on the springhouse! I bet you're right about the pump... I do see wiring associated with the pump, but I'm not certain that I saw any evidence of electricity running out to the building.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I suppose it could be underground... There is electricity running out to other small structures around the farm, and I haven't seen any above-ground wiring for them eitehr.<BR/><BR/>I also know that there used to be a great deal of electrified fencing running the perimeter of the property owing to the livestock they used to keep... Perhaps they could have run the electricity along that network?Jade L Blackwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321787298101881675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-1144713868491297032006-04-10T17:04:00.000-07:002006-04-10T17:04:00.000-07:00I appreciate your respect for property lines, but ...I appreciate your respect for property lines, but I will have to admit that many times I have trespassed in order to explore sites of interest. RE: the springhouse, the trough was where items were placed in water to stay cool, and I can only guess that the "motor, possible a generator" you refer to is a water pump, which may have been a later addition. Is there evidence that electricity was available to the structure?Rebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891258143812861574noreply@blogger.com
