Show: Wilderness - Alaska Engineer: Bill McQuay Date:08/14/2004 DAT 4 E-Elizabeth Arnold 5:36-9:46 Ambi, loon croak with wind 6:36 pretty strong wind 7:32 better cry (single) 7:47 another but faint 7:58 better cry (single) 9:56 Ambi, walking (bill) 10:19 moved on but then loon cried while walking 10:46 just walking (bill) 12:16 approach and walk over stream 12:27 start the walk 12:58 start to hear the water (nice!) 13 :21 steps in (sounds a bit weird) a little too little 14:10 nice with water fading in ..steps in ..voices but okay ..not clear what's happening. 14:37 going to record others crossing .. 15:00-15:46 Ambi, nice stream in the clear (steady) with wind ..good bed 16:49 stillness ambience no water .. 17:00 17:40 climbing up peak .. 17:49 climbing sound not good yet 18:06 climbing better, slow trudge, a little exaggerated sounding (voices) 19:14 bear kill but no good tape (should probably have miked myself for climb? Future??) 21 :21 more Bill climbing 21:57 good different wind, a little brisker (top ofmt) 22:27 let's see where we are ..(sound of opening map) ..we're right there, so we went up this right here, sooo the lake is around the comer ..where's the lake on the map? Oh. The Continental Divide is in the way .... this is no name saddle. 23:58 people gasping, drinking water. 25:05 my sigh 25:30 I'm not so sure we want to go back down the other side 25:53 swallow sound 26:59 we're at 4500 feet up here. 0 my problem is I get here and I don't want to stop .. I want to keep going .. 28:00 dave talks about sheep, caribout etc. could use if needed 29:36 so the waters where we started drain out ..Bering Sea and then the waters this way flow out the Killuk and the Killuk down to the Coville River into the Arctic Ocean.

Everybody's out here living eating killing each other and dying and all the bones tell the story. (usable?) 38:38 walking out here is a little difficult, there's no trails and its spongy tundra, tussocks, clumps of grass and water and ..rock and then you're back down in the tundra you can see little oil seeps when you go across areas of water, sheen of oil on spots of water. (Don't tell the oil industry.) The most beautiful places are where the oil tends to be. 40:39 wow the weather's really changed. Nice quiet. It's so still out here that you're ears just start ringing if you're quiet for very long all you can hear is the blood pulsing in your ears or ringing, cause there's no other sound, which is strange because it's so huge, I'm sitting at the side of the lake and I can see ...and yet there were caribou on the top. 1m sitting here and I can see this bull caribou's sillouhette up on this ridge staring at me, huge rack, antlers, never seen a person before let alone tents, just wants to corne down to this lake and take a drink I think. 42:52 I know the plane's corning today and I don't want that to happen yet.
