Clearly you have not crashed near my back yard. Eastern foot of the Carson Range (Sierra) at about the same elevation as the bottom of Lake Tahoe. Could be someone left the rubber stopper in crooked. Water comes out of the mountain from 3 springs 24/7. More water than we know what to do with.

In Nevada, look for a green spot to crash or land. Most likely there'll be a ranch. Farmer's daughter?

If I crash or land with the glider, I'll have plenty of water (in the glider), but
if I bail out, I probably won't be able to steer my parachute to a puddle :^)
