A Sound Diary Of Climbing A Mountain
In Autumn, 2012, we took a whirlwind trip from Alabama to Maine and, among other things, climbed Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. What follows is a “sound diary” and images of that climb. This first audio clip was during the very beginning of the hike when we were in the woods near the foot of the mountain.
As we continue through the woods we both comment that it doesn’t seem as rough as we remember it. Kismet was that good…
Now we’re out of the woods on open granite ledges. You can hear the wind whipping up all around us as we progress.
Shortly after the ledges and back in the woods, I stood still and listened to the wind whipping around me.
We’re close to the top now and having to work pretty hard at going up the rock face.

After resting at the top of the mountain we’re beginning the trip back down.
And here’s part 2:
Now we’re back in the woods and getting close to the end of the hike.
And here’s the very end of the hike with Kismet letting us all know how she feels!
