Kay, Yes, that’s the Wetlands area that I mentioned. There is ditch/stream that runs through that area—and it’s much more grown up than when this photo was taken, but yes, it’s possible to run a bog through there. Probably 750-800 feet.
Assuming that I terminate it at the far end, would that help with the Western loggings? I assumed it would be too directional to the North to be of much use. I’d be happy to be wrong! 73, Les Rayburn, director High Noon Media Services 130 1st Avenue West Alabaster, AL 35007-8536 205-621-7500 205-621-7505 FAX 205-253-4867 CELL highnoonfilm.com [This message and any attached documents contain information from the sender that may be confidential and/or privileged.
