"When the well is dry,..."

"...we know the worth of water."
-Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac, 1746

Very dry.

Dry swamp in Massachusetts (and camera starting to go bad)

The dryness that had begun this year, would lead to an official drought by October 2001 and result in water restrictions throughout Massachusetts (and other Northeast states).

Several springs were still flowing, but it would not be that way by the time I reached New York...
