Methinks there's an echo, too.
Sorry about your smell problem, though. I visited Lewiston, ID once and the smell there was just something I could never get used to, but the locals said they did.  |

I live in Woodlake. The other day I stepped into my garage and it smelled like there was a dead animal in there. I started looking around...figured my cat had killed a bird or squirrel or something. When I could not find anything I stepped outside and discovered that the smell was all around the area...not just my house. I figured it was some nasty fertilizer being used in a nearby field because a few times a year I can smell that as well. Who knows what it really was though.

You know....there was a story in the news a few years ago about a community West of Seguin that had a similar problem. I remember driving along I-10 and we all were gasping. But it was more of a sewer smell. I can't remember the details, but they had actually recycled sewage waste and were spreading it all over that area like fertilizer. The story claimed it was safe, but the side effects of the smell were devastating to this little area. Anyone remember that?
Maybe that's what's happening at Woodlake? I don't remember any landfills in that area when it was being developed. Possibly check with the county records department about that kind of thing. I definitely wouldn't leave it up to the authorities to sign off on it if it's that bad.
Sorry ...it's sounds terrible!

I'm no environmentalist, but could this be the culprit?

I believe it is coming from the New Earth composting place on I 10 since they are attending the meeting and the smell is the worst near their facility. |
