This was recorded at a remote campsite near the Pacific Crest Trail in densely forested mountains in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County California. It was a cold, clear, moonlit night with a steady breeze blowing through the trees. I set up the microphone beside the fire to record late at night after the air traffic had died down, and after I went to sleep nearby, so you may hear the sound of a sleeping bag rustling here and there.
