Hey LaknGulf,,,, What happened to the undeveloped land around the corner from you toward open water?  Just saw it today.  Was that a controled burn or wild fire???  The ground was pitch black!

It was quite a blaze.  Sorry you missed all the smoke.  Your neighbor Summer Place took it all in for you.

I rode 4 wheeler over on saturday and there were stumps and dead trees still smoldering.

Ughhhhhhhh! I’m remembering a foul stench in the air Friday night… I didn’t get down til 10ish.  Does this go all the way around to Real Island?

That may be a misnomer from what LNG posted...  I can however understand a "prescribed burn", and agree that they are necessary at times.  Being close to Smith Mountain, I have seen it burn on many occasions - not sure if they were under doctor's orders or not.
