The Sounds of Maine

Maine is a wonderful place to get back to nature. Sometimes we all need a break from the sounds of the city, roar of the highway, clank of machinery, disheartening news offered by TV and radio, and overhearing the never-ending conversations of other people in malls, stores, and at work. There is no better place to get away from these sounds of civilization than in the woods and on the mountains of Maine. In late spring and summer one of the best places for listening to nature's sounds is along the hiking trails of Maine while on a camping trip. Read an article by Steve Fagin entitled "Nature's Sounds" (TheDay.com, 5/28/2008). He describes in detail the various sounds of nature while on a recent mountain climbing trip to Maine.
