A strange sighting this morning in hills behind the Dogwood Passenger Station. All the trees on the hill, turned shades of red, yellow and pink. This would not so unusual in the Fall of the year for this part of the county, but it late spring and the trees are coniferous.
The local Manager for Lands and Forest and a biologist from the local university were photographed in the area behind the Station.
In talking to locals, a few said they heard a helicopter flying low and slow at dusk.
Was this another stunt by local artists, Fredrick J Blankstale III, who in the past have been linked to other "paints" in the area.
Another local said he overheard the Biologist saying something about the "rainbow" virus.
When Manager for Lands and Forest was connected for comments, he replied that the head office will giving an official press release later in the week.
This reporter will follow up later in the week with any updates.

It is not Thursday night, so I am not ready yet. Have to get a photo or two printed and pack a model or two for the contest.
Have been spending too much time of late, in the basement with alcohol. Not drinking but balasting the main line from Marc's Printing to the bridge.
See you on Friday

It's the fumes from all the alcohol used for scenery beginning to rot what's left of his brain (what working for government didn't rot).
In all my years working in the forest industry - before I got smart and switched to IT (yes, still working for the brain rotting government) - I've never seen the results of the dreaded "Rainbow" virus. It's damn shame that those trees will die soon!
