yeah that would be nice. The creek is long and deep but it’s a drainage artery. we visited a place in CO last summer that was full hydroelectric from a blast spring out the side of the mountain...it was incredible

I am thinking more and more about adding a solar array just to add to the “off grid” appeal. all I can do about a water feature is dig the pond, and maybe build a windmill to aerate it

the good thing about south LA is you don’t have to worry about a short growing season or water. Ida fricked me up good but that was a once in a lifetime thing (I hope)

I would think if you are going for that, a small orchard would definitely be worth it. Some orange and peach trees, blueberry bushes, and some muscadines. Would only cost you $500 or so and planting small trees now they’d be pretty big and tons of fruit in 3-4 years outside of maybe blueberrries.

Does it flood? Might be hard to sustain a pond, if it floods. Wouldnt want to lose all my fish to a creek.
