This was recorded just after sunset beside Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The wind had just died down and the remaining wind ripples lapped against the rocky shoreline, then slowly subsided as the lake became increasingly still. Frogs and toads called out in chorus on the far side of the lake as the darkness settled in and the clouds dissipated, revealing an incredibly starry sky. After a while, a faint breeze whispered through the Lodgepole Pines standing like sentinels beside the lake.

This episode was put together from a recording I made on the first night of a camping trip I took to the lake. There were a few jets which passed by during the recording, which I would have left in had they not been so loud. But I decided that they were too out of place in the otherwise peaceful soundscape, so I edited them out and crossfaded the parts together to provide you with a seamless listening experience.
