For our podcast, we didn't journey far: behind Lauren's house and in between two streets hides a small ravine in which a trickling creek flows (or, used to flow before the drought). Our goal was to find the source of the creek by following, through scores of fallen trees and rock formations, to its ending. Not knowing where we were going, we blindly walked through this suburban, though rarely visited, area. The podcast describes our feelings of amazement as we traveled the creek and were flabbergasted by the unimaginable wonders of nature: trees without trunks but instead fully supported by their peers, a fire hydrant growing randomly out of the ground, and magnificently green moss. Not only did we recognize the importance of experiencing the outdoors, but we also learned about the strength of the earth. Though technology had encroached upon the stream we explored, the wild was not for a moment deterred.
