Someone is denying water access on this route deliberately. You splice the rope with paracord from your pack, restore the well to working order, and pocket a length of the cut rope as evidence. A Ranger patrol would want to see this."

The well isn't empty - you can hear water far below - but the rope is too short by at least three meters.\n\nSomeone cut the rope. Recently, by the look of the frayed end. Whoever left that sign hasn't been back to check.",
