It is about a hiker, Eric Robinson, that went missing in Utah. I practically binged all 18 episodes. In the process of making the podcast, Dave Cawley, recorded the sounds of nature while recreating Eric’s hikes. Dave then used these recordings as ambient sound during the podcast. Dave then provided the full audio recordings on the podcast’s website: http://uintatriangle.com. I liked how he presented the recordings. He used a blog format where he described the audio—location, animal sounds, etc.—then he provided the audio recording. The audio was recorded in stereo, which made it an immersive experience. I liked the simplicity of it. Using the blog + audio format, it could be immersive as well informative. I found it less distracting than video. It allowed me to use my imagination, to close my eyes and find myself somewhere else. I especially liked reading a book while listening to the sounds. Sure there are apps and other places to go to listen to ambient nature sounds. But I liked knowing where the sounds came from, what I was listening to. All of this to say, that I think I would like to incorporate some of this into my own hikes. To provide an audio-only immersive option. Something free from the fluff of video. It is fun to share the sights of the places I’ve seen. But I also enjoyed this screen-free experience to places unseen. You should listen to these recordings too and see if you enjoyed them as much as I did. https://www.greggill.com/blog/bbq-cool-truck-stops-and-night-driving monthly 0.5 2025-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/1754245743928-02KQP146Y54STXRH8ZA7/IMG_4036.jpeg Blog - BBQ, Cool Truck Stops, and Night Driving - Smiley's BBQ in Raphine, VA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/1754245749985-S9GVL37E1MA63RMDHLXX/IMG_4039.jpeg Blog - BBQ, Cool Truck Stops, and Night Driving - The views were nice here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/1754245744605-5KYK68GLWW7VNQBX5EEQ/IMG_4037.jpeg Blog - BBQ, Cool Truck Stops, and Night Driving - The large Petro truck stop across the street. https://www.greggill.com/blog/otqsweptscqdsdlz00kpwntsxep8wy monthly 0.5 2025-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/1754242410950-K6YTQGN0E3D0Z2RV56LY/IMG_4026.jpg Blog - AL to KY to TN - Waiting to be unloaded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/1754242377613-5EH8EJEGOUMLFQ9QESK8/IMG_4028.jpeg Blog - AL to KY to TN - At Lebanon, TN terminal. https://www.greggill.com/blog/running-in-slow-motion monthly 0.5 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/1753375939677-QT5E465KUGJXOPDKP5PR/IMG_4016.jpeg Blog - Running In Slow Motion - Getting our mud flap fixed in Eutaw, AL.

It was pretty tough. It was kind of like shooting pool—all about angles. While there is a method to it, it depends on how you set your truck up at the beginning. And that has been a struggle too, getting my truck in alignment to do the maneuver. I’m always turning the trailer the wrong way, which throws off what I’m trying to do. The maneuver requires me to crank the steering wheel hard one way and then crank it hard the other way. I ended up rubbing skin off my hand and had to wear gloves the rest of the day. I guess I have some skin in the game now. https://www.greggill.com/blog/third-yard-day monthly 0.5 2025-04-28 https://www.greggill.com/blog/first-yard-day monthly 0.5 2025-04-21 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Tennessee monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Kentucky monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Truck+Stops monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/CDL+Training monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Alabama monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Hiking monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Pennsylvania monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/BBQ monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Mississippi monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Trucking monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Knight monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Missouri monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Life monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Podcasts monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Virginia monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/blog/tag/Maryland monthly 0.5 https://www.greggill.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/df1ce1ab-6f05-4af4-bbff-4af1648b2fee/Screenshot+2025-05-09+at+12.41.44-2.jpg https://www.greggill.com/home daily 1.0 2025-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/f074f73b-247a-4eee-bad2-feea79e88454/Screenshot+2025-09-10+at+13.31.11.jpeg https://www.greggill.com/gallery daily 0.75 2025-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/d863b7cb-2a69-4950-a41c-4cd9090c6b63/7C4A1883.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/5dd0731a-15bc-4db9-9ca0-4710d86084bd/7C4A1978-2.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/9483b0ac-0f99-42f1-bdb0-1e8164a8df78/IMG_7542.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/99ece9f7-b348-46e9-b9d1-0f94a3d6407f/IMG_7383.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/ea0b681a-c3c3-45d5-b521-dddfa8fe19b1/IMG_0447.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/4f8ca0b1-add5-4f8d-b090-493dfee4021d/IMG_0431.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/49e45d0d-4f91-45fd-a5ef-14814b0a2c55/IMG_0713.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/fb9b1aa5-3154-4073-bc9c-74ae3e985dcc/IMG_0036.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/9a421acc-f4ef-4057-92db-e7682ff1621a/IMG_0689.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/59c0d685-ae8a-42af-8d6c-657852885aa7/IMG_0717.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/101b7622-016a-404f-92d6-90c138d3b361/IMG_0716.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/9844d559-ec44-4c5a-a9f3-f2f7fd2f2dc8/IMG_0032.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/fb810455-27a3-4df3-a344-2c58177cff24/IMG_7640.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/5c1870ff-0c21-48a0-9f5e-df77f786de96/IMG_0506-2.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/8193feee-cf5b-406a-9cad-9ec872753b6d/IMG_7666.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/680696509bacba61cb2bffb2/c56b0ea1-087a-45a6-bba4-2f674ea3474a/IMG_0681.jpg Gallery
