Summary:

Welcome to episode 26 of the Nature is my Jam podcast. As always, I’m happy to welcome you back for another foray into the wilderness to capture the best northern Michigan offers. This week, we are once again on the banks of Otter Creek at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore to record the sound of a big wind as it blows in from Lake Michigan. 

How windy was it today? So windy that Otter Creek was flowing backwards! This wasn’t the original location for today’s recording, but it turned out to be the best location. I really love the sound of the intense wind. It’s not only a reminder of the power of nature, but a chance to get lost in the wind's sound blowing through the trees with no other sounds to get in its way. 

It was a whirlwind of activity to get this episode recorded. I received feedback (very good feedback) that I sometimes take too long to get to the point. I know it but I like to write so I put all the really important stuff at the top this week. If you want to know the rest of the story, then I invite you to continue reading on the Nature is my Jam blog.
