The Battle of Blackbearry Ridge

As noted before, the war on kudzu at Blackbearry Ridge has been in full force for nearly two (2) years.  This weekend at Blackbearry Ridge was the scene of a major battle that has shifted the outcome to our favor.  We were unaware that kudzu cells had spread their evil vines into the base of Blackbearry Ridge.  While the battle lines had clearly been draw on the ground and a front establish, the kudzu had become airborne.

This weekend at the Battle of Blackbearry Ridge, we attacked the kudzu aerial assault and inflected major damage on the enemy.  With a chain saw and heavy artillery (the jeep) two (2) trees that had been harboring the kudzu and providing a base for their aerial attacks were taken down with precision strikes.  After taking down the trees the kudzu was brought down to the ground level where it was quickly neutralized with a lethal agent to kudzu but environmentally friendly to animals and the allied forces.

We have clearly stopped the advance this weekend but we are not allowing ourselves to become complaisant but instead vow to continue the attack and bring the battle to the kudzu root.  Our largest problem is the neighboring property which appears to be kudzu sympathizers.  This had forced us to make numerous covert strikes on the property to weaken the kudzu stronghold.  No collateral damage has been witnessed by these covert missions, but after witnessing the battle firsthand and forced to retreat, the kudzu leader has retreated his forces but all signs indicate the fight for the kudzu's claim to Blackbearry Ridge will continue.

A cable was attached to the second kudzu base.

While the cable is attached to the base, forces move in to make precision cuts and  weaken the base.

The kudzu air force is brought to the ground.

The pile of kudzu wreckage combine with the trees.

Allied ground forces quickly move in to destroy any remaining kudzu.

The ground assault continues as the kudzu is destroyed.

The heavy artillery is called to the ridge in case of another attack. 

The kudzu leader surveys the damage and ponders his next move.
