"The dark. In a city at night you can read a book outside. In the country on a cloudy or no moon night. You can't see anything. Not like it's kinda hard to see, but it's so dark you might as well be blind; the stars and gravity are the only way to know which direction is up. Also a clear night sky in places that get truly dark like that is something my vocabulary can't describe."

#1 I'm 29 years old and I've never heard a gunshot in real life. I'm very proud of it. I'm not american, obviously.

Kay,I was raised in the middle of nowhere. So deep in the woods that to this day they still don't have cable.
I think what the post is referring to about gun shots is most likely someone shooting at wild animals encroaching on theirs or their territory. Too close to the house or chicken kind of thing.

I grew up in Pine Log Georgia in the 60s. And I miss it because now I live in the suburbs of Atlanta.

Mira,
No, just stupid and clueless. Whoever wrote that has never been off the the busline.
Rural folk are nothing like that.

RE: the mention of coyotes howling in various pics....
Yeah, but I'll tell ya, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, sends a chill up your spine like the sound of a pack of timber wolves howling. All around you. Within yards. On a pitch black night. Alone. On a path.
OK, finding yourself between a mama bear and her cubs when one of the cubs starts crying is an interesting experience too.
BTW, I'm from northern Minnesota. Estimated wolf population in the lower 48 states is around 6,000. 2,700 of the 6,000 live here.
I don't walk in the woods alone at night; there's always 3 of us. I and my good buddies Smith & Wesson.
