Donna believes Gregs story about dowsing rods and wine

Did You Know? - Greg assured Donna that he could locate wine within the next 30 minutes using two simple sticks and a lot of constipation....ah, make that concentration!

Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites, and many other objects and materials, as well as so-called currents of earth radiation (Ley lines), without the use of scientific apparatus.

Dowsing is also known as divining (especially in reference to interpretation of results), doodlebugging (in the US)[citation needed], or (when searching specifically for water) water finding, water witching or water dowsing.

A Y- or L-shaped twig or rod, called a dowsing rod, divining rod (Latin: virgula divina or baculus divinatorius) or witching rod is sometimes used during dowsing, although some dowsers use other equipment or no equipment at all.

Dowsing appears to have arisen in the context of Renaissance magic in Germany, and it remains popular among believers in Forteana or radiesthesia although there is no accepted scientific rationale behind the concept and no scientific evidence that it is effective.

It worked... Greg located three cases of red wine on the train so the enture group did well... Not a dry person remained


Donna thought this to be a Star Pine

Did You Know? - Araucaria heterophylla (synonym A. excelsa) is a distinctive conifer, a member of the ancient and now disjointly distributed family Araucariaceae. As its vernacular name Norfolk Island Pine implies, the tree is endemic to Norfolk Island, a small island in the Pacific Ocean between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia.

The genus Araucaria occurs across the South Pacific, especially concentrated in New Caledonia (about 700 km due north of Norfolk Island) where 13 closely related and similar-appearing species are found. It is sometimes called a 'star pine', due to its symmetrical shape as a sapling, although it is not a true pine.


We were going to send someone up the tree to get dates but thought better of ourselves
