Thanks for all your help! It was more toxic than the natural bad smells you're suggesting. We were there at the end of June-beginning of July, if that helps at all. Just wondering how "healthy" it could be breathing in that smell.

Cyndy, it might BE the garbage dump on 466a.
From Walgreens at colony, I can hear the dumpsters being emptied behind the berm that is south of 466 AA.
Your comment made me snicker.

I have not seen any mention of the chemical smell that was around about a year ago when they were recoating the roads. They sprayed something onto a lot of roads mostly north of 466. This went on for weeks and when they did this the smell was everywhere . Almost like a paint solvent.
