Very Nice! I didn't read all of it but what I did it sounds like you're having a great time vcreating your hunting camp. If you weren't so far away I would volunteer to come out and "witch" a well site for you. I would think there is probably a water vein or two close to the camp.
Hand driving a well is a bit of work but is you use a tripod with a large pulley at the apex, some 1'2" rope , and a heavy driver , it's not too bad. Having driven several well points in the past coupleof years I sure learned the ways of making it a bit easier.
