This past Sunday, March 2nd, DNR staged a massive controlled burn just north of the town of Waves, NC (location of Real Lesson Center). When we saw the smoke from our deck, we knew we had to grab cameras and check it out. Here's a quick edit of what we found... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVaMrl8AE9I Enjoy! _________________ Order your copy of Present Tense today at http://cineaptic.bigcartel.com/product/present-tense-dvd Mark Since 20 Jun 2005 3678 Posts I need my fix because I'm a Naishaholic Tue Mar 04, 08 10:06 am     Wonder if that drives the snakes and animals out? _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult... www.naishkites.com Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Tue Mar 04, 08 10:29 am     Crazy shit! registered Since 12 Jul 2005 1319 Posts tsunami Sandbagger Tue Mar 04, 08 9:49 pm     those burns should help block out some of that damn sunlight so the polar bears can walk around on ice again. railgrab Since 29 Mar 2005 177 Posts Seattle, WA Stoked Tue Mar 04, 08 10:35 pm     Quote: DNR staged a massive controlled burn... (location of Real Lesson Center). Easy there Dogg. Be careful about using the terms 'control' and 'REAL' in the same sentence! I'd hate to see you lose any 'Water Time' over it. http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2343944&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=real+lawsuit NateDogg Since 05 Mar 2005 627 Posts I caught your mom on cineaptic.com Wed Mar 05, 08 9:39 am     Mark wrote: Wonder if that drives the snakes and animals out? The logistics of the operation were pretty interesting from what I could observe. DNR would start the fires just NE of that string of powerlines right up next to the road and then let the NE breeze carry the fire all the way to the sound. They moved slow enough and did small enough sections to where I would think the animals would be able to smell the smoke on the wind and either get out of the way or retreat into the shallows of the sound. I drove through the same area yesterday and it isn't nearly as charred as you would think. The fires burn so quick they just eat through all the ground folliage and leave anything over a few feet high. _________________ Order your copy of Present Tense today at http://cineaptic.bigcartel.com/product/present-tense-dvd        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
