Timecode In: 00:35:56. Timecode out: 00:36:10. Notes: Lewis and Clark. Habitat: Coniferous Forest, Stream. Equipment Notes: Stereo=1; Spaced Omnis; Decoded MS stereo. Elevation: 1590 m. NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS Lolo Trail DAT#2 Engineer: McQuay Date: July 24, 2001 0:40 It's the 24th of July, Packer Meadow, it's 8:39pm. It's an MS configuration and we're going to wait here ... 1:20 - 5:55 ambi -walking away from the stream, 1 :35 -faint gurgling of stream 2:20, steps coming back in closer. Nice rustling until 3:05. Then hear stream again. 3:45 -hear car (boat?) in distance. At 4:39, just stream again. 5:30, hear steady chirping of bird. 6:22 Jeff: Somebody else comes along five years later. .. they'll chop that out. .. This really happened many many years ago ...Because I can take my whole hand ...that is really an old scar. 6:55 How do you know that tree is that old? .. .It's not that big. 7:00 Jeff: What happens with lodgepole pine is once they get so old then their growth really slows down ...This is so small you almost have to see a magnifying glass, in some case, a microscope, to count the rings. Some of those trees will only get ...a little more than a foot in diameter ...(How old are they?) They can be a 150,200 years old tree .. .In a complacent. .. they just don't get the nutrition or the water, but they still put on these little tiny annual rings ... (7:58) 8:20 While we're here I may as well show you that one that's up there 13 feet... 8:30 -11:00 ambi -great walking noises, esp. after raspy voice at 9:02 says, quietly -"deer! deer!" (9:40 & 50 -10:10-great twig breaking)(9:45 -muttering/or a sec) 11 :00 Jeff: this tree is still alive, as you can tell ...(Alex: geez, that's high) 12:16 McQuay: We're now in spaced omni (?) -we'll do this split track. .. 12:44 A: So...this tree is a lodgepole pine ...and how old is it? 12:50 Jeff: Oooh, 150 feet tall .. .let's say a hundred, at least. .. Early travelers and especially native groups for hundreds of years...stripped the bark from the trees in order to get to the sugars ...and its' a real. .. beautiful shiny white membrane that's close to the cambium of the tree that it let off the year before and became a part of the wood ...These layers of cambium and that's what the tree's made of ... So what people did when there was no food for their horses ...or themselves ... and they did travel over this country ...they would travel at times in the spring when the snow was high but hard enough to support the weight of a horse ...and the only food they could get to would be these trees ...Or the fall when they were coming back here ...again, no feed ...they'd still strip the bark from the tree to feed ...
