Waking up at 2:30 AM

 Listening to the night sounds.

I'm 2 kilometers south of the highway, but at this time of night, the big trucks rumbling through sound like they are on my road.

I live at the end of the road. There is a logging trail/recreational vehicle trail off that. It isn't maintained. We frequently hear vehicles roaring up there at 3 AM. Where do they think they are going?

The coyotes, owls and whip poor wills fill out the chorus as I make a feeble attempt to get back to sleep.

  1. Some of those sounds aren’t exactly idyllic. :)

  2. Trying to force yourself back to sleep is not easy. I agree with Anvilcloud.

  3. I hate hearing loud vehicles -- especially at night. But the coyotes and owls -- I could work with that!

  4. Love hearing the night and early morning sounds. Not so much the logging trucks, skidders and saws.
