This edition of Places is mid-July and, once again, out in the great Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware. The first 18 minutes is just sitting at the campground in the morning listening to birds, barking dogs, and nearby campers waking up. Then for 8 minutes we move over to a viewing platform in a marshy bay at Gordon’s Pond where I record until until some other birders notice my recorder. Pardon our bird chatter. The final 5 or 6 minutes are up on top of the Hawk Watch platform looking out over the dunes and onto the beach. Bugs, waves, gulls, small planes; all the good stuff!

I attempt to bike and hike my way up to Signal Knob in the Elizabeth Furnace Recreational Area to record some ambiences for Places. From the road, to Mud Hole Gap, to Strasburg Reservoir, to Signal Knob, and back. Hike-a-bike becomes the way frequently and quite quickly. I spot some Barred Owls and other good birds. I cross some streams, drink from a spring, and give myself reminders for next time; like use bug spray. I remember a dream where I was forced to be an actor. Finally, there’s a recap with a bike repair lesson from the bathtub.

This Places episode contains recordings made on a whim overnight campout in Delaware Seashore State Park. It rained a little on the way out there, but pretty much on my arrival a huge storm came through, and continued on and off over night. Luckily, in the morning it wasn't too bad, and and overall I really enjoyed my time being out in nature. (The nearby lightning strikes were scary!)

Driving and on the way to finally taking on a gravel bike race. Breaking down the new Switching Title season structure/timeline. Personal health updates, notes to self, and more challenge ideas. Race director speech, and enjoy the ride as I begin and finish and recap (with - of course - a gratuitous bird report).

This episode of Places follows me along my trek hauling myself and my bike up to Signal Knob. Recording stops are the Bear Hollow Parking Lot where I started, Mudhole Gap, Strasburg Reservoir Road Parking Lot, a Strasburg Reservoir primitive campsite, somewhere up the steep incline to and at the Signal Knob tower. You will mostly hear wind and birds in the trees, creeks, and me.
