This track features a mix of recordings from locations that often appeared in Ivan Doig's writings. The episode (there is no narration) begins with the sound of Dupuyer Creek, the real-life inspiration for Doig's fictional English Creek. Other recordings capture sounds from nearby Choteau and White Sulphur Springs. These sounds feature birds, frogs, and weather such as rain, wind and thunder. Eventually the podcast's soundscape moves from Montana to Washington where Doig lived and wrote for most of his adult life (listen for the sound of the waves along Dungeness Spit). The soundscape then returns to the Montana Prairie. All the recordings are available on the Acoustic Atlas at acousticatlas.org.
