According to rancher Kelley, on the north, this is the first year
the reservoir has filled - built a few years ago. On weekends when boats are
on reservoir ducks leave, but return after quiet has resumed. Water delivered
from Almaden Res to the SW, and talk of water from Italian Slough (BR project).
