This is a continuation of the previous recording of a rainy and windy spring day in a deep, forested gully beside the Pacific Crest Trail just around the bend from West Trough Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. The rain was steady, and dripped heavily from the trees as the wind blowing through the the treetops high above gradually increased in intensity.

On the day I recorded this I was able to gather over six hours of noise pollution free sound. This is the second half of that recording. I hope you enjoy it!

I continue to hope for an abrupt end to the war against Ukraine. The suffering of the Ukrainian people at the hands of a megalomaniacal autocrat is absolutely unjustifiable. PEACE FOR UKRAINE!!! 

I hope wherever you are listening that this benefits you in some small way, and it inspires you to do all you can to protect and preserve our natural world. Thank you very much for listening. Stay healthy, stay safe, stay sound.
