Kite Festival Tonight we have a story about a sport that includes floating.. fighting.. and synchronized dancing. That's one way to say: this isn't your grandfather's way to fly kites. Field Guide's Vince Patton and videographer Michael Bendixen found kites from two inches wide to the size of a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon… at the largest kite festival in Oregon, in Lincoln City. Trees and Pollution Emerging research shows that if plants and trees are planted in certain locations, they can make air pollution worse. The plants emit isoprenes which combine with man-made pollutants to create ozone. Ultralight Hiking Clint “Lint” Bunting came to backpacking late in life, but once he took to it he went “all in”. He has hiked over 14,000 miles, including all of the big American Thru hikes: the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Ice Age Trail and the Continental divide Trail, some of them twice! What’s more, he now hikes for weeks at a time with an 8-pound pack, significantly less than the 40-50 pounds many backpackers typically carry.
