Of course, doing your own hauling figures free
labor. I'd be careful doing water hauling for
neighbors, too easy to establish a dependance
relationship.

We help each other out, when we can.

In fact, a neighbor asked us to do an inspection of his
water supply, and we cheerfully did that for him.

We pitch in and all hike together roped on the hills.

I went hiking with the neighbors just today, and we were
able to cross the lake on foot for a shortcut cutting off
about 5 miles, but normally the lake is a half mile wide
or so of water. It's all just cracked mud now:

The mud is still slightly wet, but, cracking fast:

All the lakes are nearly dried up.
