Chicago may have burnt a river, but it takes the South Central to burn a lake...

...a foot or so of dead Salvinia, cypress leaves. pine straw and other hardwood leaves/debris...it is burning kinda like a bog fire...cause it is a bog...cause the water has been off the lake bed since the floods last year and has had very little rain since August...damitman...........

Well, at least we have time, Dave and MJ can handle this. They've handled worse....

burning for months, the video doesn't sound like it will be out in 4 weeks. Smoldering Bog, What a wonderful spell the neighbors have, ehh? I really wonder if it's ever gonna be Louisiana's turn "out of the barrel"? I hope it comes soon for them.

Sounds like the muck fires that we'd have in FL. They'd burn for weeks and are really hard to put out.

Doesn't seem like a problem to me--I know how I like to put out a campfire after I have been sitting around drinking beer all day . . . :)

And with this group, we should have this blaze quenched in an afternoon!

It seems to be a few miles South of the Park. Maybe we'll get lucky. And, there's bound to be a couple of rainy days before the end of the month. :worship:
