Default where to put it.

When we lived in upstate NY, just north of Albany. Our neighbor across the street put in a point well. Our subdivision was probably about 200 feet higher than the Mohawk river, but he got a good flow of water at about 15-18 feet. I asked him how he knew where to drill, and he said midway between two good sized oak trees! I asked him why, and he said that was what he was always told, and it worked virtually every time. Seldom did he not hit water at a relatively shallow depth.
He was a little older than me, and seemed to be really in tune with "old Yankee ingenuity and lore."
