So my father found a couple of big water collection tanks up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere. Here's 1 (and a lovely partial shot of his finger):
Anyone know what the heck they're for? They don't seem to be that old, as the construction seems to be in good repair still etc. But they're located 50+ miles from anything. But someone put in a lot of effort to build them. Why? Google is failing me here, so it's up to YOU!
Assuming this was private land, they're rain catchers and are most likely for the use of whoever owns the land. Perhaps someone was planning on building a house, but something stopped those plans.

The water is used to make moonshine, which is poured over another plot of land to grow an especially potent strain of weed, which then gets ground up as an ingredient for the best meth you've ever had.
Of note, in some counties water is "claimed" in all of its forms. Whether it's from the ground, canal, or sky someone owns the rights to it. Meaning that collecting said water is against the law. Normally this law is oft-overlooked for rain catchers because really who's going to bother prosecuting that? But several years into the worst drought this state's seen in a long time, when water rights are a huge hot button issue? That changes things a bit.

How is 14 a bad roll???
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Any roll which causes you to miss your target and lose the fight is a bad roll

The parameters weren't set! Nobody said what the roll had to be!

The roll had to be good. We've established it was bad.

Best advice? Don't go taking pictures of strange structures in the middle of no where unless you want a Colombian Necktie.

Nah, you only get that if you drink the water that comes from Labrador sized worms.

Can't call the authorities- they could be in on the water smuggling ring and then whoopsie!
You should set up a stake out.

Just don't write it on the back of a business card. Well at least not your business card.
