This was recorded on a windy evening just before sunset at Mattole Beach on the Lost Coast in Humboldt County, California. The surf was rough due to the strong wind which produced a wind swell and created choppy seas speckled with white caps beyond the surf line.  This is another recording I made during my one night stay at the Mattole Campground on the Lost Coast. The Lost Coast is the longest stretch of undeveloped coastline in California, or any of the lower 48 states. The Mattole Campground sits at the northern trailhead of the Lost Coast Trail, which I very much hope to hike someday, and make recordings along the way.  

This episode is dedicated to my very good friend Orion Gardner, who tragically passed away recently. He was a lifelong surfer and lover of the ocean, and I know he would have absolutely loved this stunning stretch of coastline. He was also one of the earliest supporters of the podcast, whose kind words helped motivate me to continue making these recordings and continue sharing them with you. He was one of my oldest and dearest friends, and he will be forever missed.
