Acequia's on our walkies

16 July 2010

Reading time: 1 min

Its been real hot over here recently and our walks are early in the morning now, usually before the sun gets up and over the mountain. We are tending to do the same walk most days, mainly because Hu’mum says there is water en-route from acequias. We usually pass 3 that are running most days, well 3 that we can get in without disappearing down a shoot. After normal winters the acequias tend to run dry through July & August, but this year after all the rain/snow we had there is still plenty of snow melt making its way down the mountains.

And to finish a short little video of us playing in the acequia when the water was running quite fast. Dont you just love the sound of running water.
