Mrs WD and I are on our biannual visit to her homeland - Tennessee. This week we are in a cabin on the pointy end of Sugartit Mountain, just up the holler from Fleshy Bottom.
So my question is:
We are on the very tip of this mountain on a flat pad that is at most 150 feet across, and it is at least 500 feet down to the nearest ledge on all sides. Yet there is a water well here. How does an underground water table develop at the top of a mountain?
