Does Dixie Lime still blast? Probably too far away if it was. Not sure

That was golf carts hitting the infamous pothole on the Palmer golf cart path : )

We heard a series of rumblings this morning over in Country Club Hills/Orange Blossom. Thought it was thunder!

Heard this too while golfing at Mallory yesterday and was wondering what it was.

I heard and felt it and my dog was freaked out. I did not think it was coming from the forest but perhaps it was. I tried to google when they were bombing but did not really get any dates. Can only assume it was the Navy.

Yes, we live on the West edge of the Forest. We heard the rumbling and the ground shook a little.

Reminded me that I once had a Secretary of the Navy looking over my shoulder for a few seconds. :-)
