Send us a text Quick Note: I am on my way to Houston, Texas to help a friend pick up his new overlanding trailer . Our annual camping trip had to be postponed, so we used the time to make a road trip from Michigan to Texas. I’m taking my camera and a recorder, but I’m guessing that chances will be slim that I will have time to do any recording. Fingers crossed. Welcome to the 11th episode of the Nature is my Jam Podcast ! We are still at the Peterson Road Beach at Sleeping Bear Dunes and revisit...

Send us a text Welcome to the 9th episode of the Nature is my Jam Podcast ! I have been spending a lot of time hiking sections of the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT) that are near my house. This episode finds us next to an unnamed lake that sits between Guernsey Lake and the Sand Lakes area in Grand Traverse County, Michigan. This is a very cool section of trail because it intersects with the Sand Lakes Quiet Area Pathway and the Kalkaska to Traverse City Trail (K to TC Trail), which c...

Send us a text Northern Michigan suffers an embarrassment of riches with access to natural resources and trail systems. Where I live is no exception. Just a few miles from my house, the prolific North Country Scenic Trail intersects with a local trail called the Muncie Lakes Pathway . I like to call this area a “pick your own adventure” waiting to happen. Used year-round by locals AND visitors, these trails provide ample recreational opportunities such as cross-country skiing, hiking, mountain b...

Send us a text This week I felt a desire to head further north than my home base of Traverse City to explore some areas that I have heard about but have never visited yet. I looked at the map and Charlevoix immediately spoke to me. I know Charlevoix well and my wife and I are always happy to visit, but all of our trips are almost boating related and centered in the downtown area. Today, I visited Fisherman’s Island State Park , which is located right on Lake Michigan and not too far from downtow...

Send us a text Being a person who absolutely loves the sound of nature, I can be a glass half empty or half full, depending on my location and conditions. This week, I think I find myself squarely in the middle of the age-old debate. My weekend recording plan went sideways from the beginning, so I was scrambling yesterday to come up with a recording to share this week. My wife and I spent a few days on the boat and dropped anchor in one of our favorite anchorages, Bowers Harbor, which is on the ...

Send us a text This is part of an overnight recording from the shore of Perch Lake in Traverse City, Michigan USA. The lake is on forest land owned by the State of Michigan and is very close to the VASA trail system. It is around 2.5 to 3 miles from the nearest paved road, but noise pollution is still present most of the time. This recording has minimal noise pollution as a result of combining two clips from the same night. I recorded this soundscape with the Zoom F6 Field Recorder and the Audio...

Send us a text This soundscape is part of a longer recording that ran overnight along the Muncie Lakes Pathway in Traverse City, Michigan USA on 5/25/2022 around 2:30 AM. In this recording, we are overlooking a wetlands area that looks like a cross between a vernal pool and a swamp. I would guess the area is 25 acres and has a mix of cedar, pine, hardwoods, and long grasses. A hiking trail runs along one side of the area and a two-track dirt road on the other. There is logging in the area but re...
