Before we can drink from our well, we need to test the water to make sure it's safe. After a nervous wait, here's what we discovered.

How do you run a well pump manually using power from a generator? We create a temporary setup to do just that and fill our RV tank.

After six months in one spot, it was finally time to hookup the RV again, but this time our journey was a little shorter than usual!
