That should read:

...The water is allocated according to an ancient and as I understand it
unique code of law dating at least to late 16th century *(perhaps
pre-Conquest since the Pueblo people started the system)* that is neither
US common or statute law nor Euro-Napoleonic law ...

Looks fun Patrick. Couple of questions.

Do those trails see a lot of traffic and that is what keeps the vegetation 
down? 

How high does the water get during the irrigation season? I am assuming it 
varies depending on the time of year. 

I love finding these kinds of unintentional recreation paths and are 
usually my route of choice when available.
