...of silence

previous thread on this one but thank you for bringing it to the forum's attention again. particularly timely considering the comment period for the most recent proposal by the US Army to land helicopters in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area ends tomorrow. scoping document comments must be received by July 30 2015 electronic comments may be submitted via email to usarmy.jblm.imcom.list.dpw-eis@mail.mil I've never hiked the Hoh. The Queets Valley is part of one of the "MOAs" (Military Operations Areas). It is unfortunately not as quiet as it could be otherwise.

Man made noise! So recording white noise along a river counts as a quiet place in my opinion. I could hike a 1/4 mile off the highway to a spot on a river with some white water. If I can't hear traffic noise above the sound of the water, it counts.
