Yesterday was a looooong day. We burned a unit near our house at CTER (Cross Timbers Experimental Range). The unit we burned was the one I wrote a burn plan for in class. It was a pretty successful burn, we got some cedar trees to crown out and most of the leaf litter burned. We started at around 9 in the morning and finished lighting around noon, went to lunch and came back and lit leaf litter that didn't catch. It burned really good the second time around because the humidity dropped a bit. Here are some pictures from yesterday's burn.
Cedar trees crowning out!!!
die die die!
Too bad we didn't have a smidge more wind to carry on to more cedars!
We walked up on a turkey laying on her eggs. I snapped a picture and quickly left so she could come back and tend to her eggs.
Adam is lighting leaf litter in the rocks.
Cool looking smokey creek bottom.
Dixie was exploring around all the rocks. It is so nice to have a dog that doesn't mind fire. We get to take her on burns and she stays pretty close and just walks around the fire.

Dixie retrieving a shed.
Good puppy!
Second shed of the day.
Bringing her shed to me! Such a good girl!
#3 and 4 of the day, nice set!
Me, very very dirty after 8 hours of burning and mopping up the burn. We were on our way back to the house where I then mowed for 3 hours. I was filthy! I feel sorry for our washer for having to wash the clothes I wore yesterday!
