Unsolved Mysteries

 

At Rusty’s RV Ranch.

See in the photo above?  That little red bucket?  It’s just there.  What do you suppose it’s for?

 

Here it is a little closer.  We saw a Park utility cart stop at it briefly.  It looks like it has water in it.

 

It’s probably not a low-tech watering solution.  We’ve seen those before in the back country.  Native plants are planted, then they put a large bucket of water with a small hole in it next to each one, and the new plant gets a nice slow prolonged watering to help it get established.

 

That’s not what this is, though.  It’s right next to a tree that has a higher tech watering solution.  There are drippers run to each tree that give it a good soaking once every week or so.

 

Yes, the little bucket has water in it.  Park maintenance cruises by and makes sure there is always water in it.

 

It’s a puzzle.
