   Yowsas! I thought MN was supposed to be the land of 10,000
lakes? What'dja do with all that water? :-) Around here in WNY,
40-60' seems to be the norm, and the water will come up to within
10 feet of ground level (or even closer). Maybe its the shale and
the clay - I dunno; the water table is pretty high here I guess.

  I'm just glad I don't have to pay the well driller to go down
that extra 350 feet. :-)
