about

The headwaters of the Arkansas River lie in Colorado, specifically derived from the snowpack in the Sawatch and Mosquito ranges, which include the Collegiate Peaks. It then flows down passed Buena Vista to Salida and hooks east at Cotopaxi, where it flows into the Midwest via Kansas, and finally through Oklahoma and Arkansas to the Mississippi River, which then flows into the Gulf of Mexico. In 1859, placer gold discovered in the Leadville area brought thousands seeking to strike it rich, but the easily recovered placer gold was quickly exhausted.
The headwaters of the Arkansas River in central Colorado have been known for exceptional trout fishing, particularly fly-fishing, since the 19th century, when greenback cutthroat trout dominated the river. Today, brown trout dominate the river, which also contains rainbow trout. Trout Unlimited considers the Arkansas one of the top 100 trout streams in America, a reputation the river has had since the 1950s. [Wikipedia]

Sounds include: a hailstorm on skylights; heavy thunderclaps; birds singing up to an approaching storm; the Wallingford “bunk line” approaching Chosley Station, UK; the sound of Stapleford Park UK steam fair; and a traction steam engine.

Here, you may find a melange of mellow ambience through a space-wild, spine-tingling galactic fantasy. ... more
