Episode 94: Mount Shasta- Gusty Winter Wind Near Sand Flat

This recording was gathered on a clear and sunny morning near Sand Flat on the southwest side of Mount Shasta in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The wind was strong with powerful gusts causing the towering Red Fir trees to sway wildly. Branches and twigs littered the snow covered forest floor, having been freshly pruned by the gale force wind.

It was very unnerving walking through the forest when it was this windy, I strongly advise against it. I was definitely keeping an eye on the tree tops so that I could dodge any branches or even falling trees should they be blown down by the wind. Luckily I made it back unharmed. Though I should say that while I was setting up to record, a pretty good size branch, about three feet long and two inches in diameter, fell to the ground no more than ten feet away. And as I was driving up the mountain a county road crew was removing a freshly fallen tree from the roadway.
