Listening Point Audio - Canoe Country Thunderstorm

Deep in the forests of southern Illinois lies a secret place called 'Ripple Hollow'. Protected by tall bluffs that border the Mississippi River, old growth beech trees tower overhead, housing the sights and sounds of a forest gone unnnoticed by time and humans. Listening as the sun comes up is like climbing into a time machine and hearing what untold miles of forests must have sounded like hundreds of years ago.
