Journal Entry

I have lived most of my life in Upstate New York between Lake Ontario, the Adirondack Mountains and the Finger Lakes. The silly picture of me on this post shows me floating down the Black River in Watertown, NY. I was leading a group of my students on our annual white water rafting trip and we all went for a swim in the 50f degree water. I spend a great deal of time on and near rivers and lakes and lately the sounds of the water make me think of the two months I will spend on the seas around Antarctica as a PolarTREC teacher aboard the icebreaker Oden. Here is a little audio essay about the sounds of water on the shores of Lake Ontario and at Camp Talooli where I live.

Enjoy! Jeff
