Small (and maybe the wrong waterfall) waterfall ambience — Okay, so this is my first waterfall, and I’m not psyched about misnaming my first waterfall ambience. But here’s the deal. My buddy, Ed, was like, “Yo, you have to check out Moss Glen Falls. They make Warren Falls look like some ****.” So I consulted Google and was served this.
“Yeah, that does makes Warren Falls look like some ****.”
So I brought my microphone up to Vermont and drove to the falls. And… the bridge was out. The footbridge had been damaged by weather and had some “keep out” -ish signage.
I was bummed but undeterred. I could see the falls back in the woods (from this vantage point, looking to the right of the bridge). These falls looked less impressive (see episode cover image) than the pictures the internet had fed me — yet, I’ve online dated before, and I know the drill between Glamour Shots and reality. And it may have been a dry summer in the Green Mountains.
I noticed a collection of rocks that could lead me to the other side of the ditch so I could skip the battered bridge. My mind easily picked out the route across boulders, and I stepped one, two, and into the creek I went.
My kid laughed.
And it was worth it to capture my first waterfall. I climbed out of the creek with one sloshing leg limping the rest of the way.
I set up the mic and let it roll.
Later, I realized I had found some bastard Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree waterfall. I should have turned left at the bridge; if I had, I would have wound up here.
So… enjoy whatever these falls are called.
