Well, well, WELL

Manosh  dropped off their well drilling truck on Wednesday night.  They worked all day Thursday drilling for water.  At around 1pm the truck broke down and they were waiting for the repair person to come.  At that point they were at around 220' with no indication of how much further.  At around 5:45pm I went back up to discover that they were still working.  While I was there they hit water, and at 5 GMP (gallons per minute) at a depth of 282'.  They came back this morning to remove the drill, but not before getting the truck stuck.  That truck is really heavy!
