[at-l] A Wee Bit of Wind History of My Own

[Clark Wright]

So true about the sounds the wind can make - from that wonderful, soothing
sound of the wind in a forest at night, to the
make-the-hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck-stand-up sounds I have heard in the
teeth of several hurricanes, it is those wind sounds that stick with me
forever.  I still get chills when I listen to the videotape sound track of
the footage I shot in Bertha, Fran, Floyd, Isabel, and Ophelia!

### You're my Dad's kind of guy. When I wuz a kid,
he'd pack us all into the car to head TO the shore
when the hurricane's hit. We'd stand arm-in-arm,
sometimes with my Mom, sometimes just bro and sis and
I. It warps you, I think. Being on a motorcycle at
75-90 mph was next. Katahdin (at 19 on my throughhike)
made motorcycling at 125mph (age 28-34) seem tame.
Yeah, but the *noise*; that's what gets you. The right
trees can make 30 mph plain SCARY.
