Helicopter Mission
As I was filming inside Resurrection Park, (the largest Catholic cemetery in the state of Vermont), I heard a helicopter flying overhead.

Sounds of a Colorado Creek
I visited friends who lived in Nathrop, Colorado, back in August 2013. This was, of course, MANY years before my YouTube channel. Ferg had driven us up to St. Elmo, a ghost town.
