Sounding the horns

So, the other day I took a quick trip up to the Niagara Gorge at

Artpark State Park, Lewiston, NY.

Lewiston, and while I was there, I sounded the horns.  It was pretty empty while I was there, but there were some people with dogs (who were supposed to be on lead, but weren’t), and a bunch of wildlife, so I didn’t want to go too wild with the horns.

The area is awesome, if you’ve never been there, as the Niagara River has carved the gorge with a constantly ‘advancing’ set of falls, of which our iconic Niagara Falls is only the latest version.

With the dramatic drop of the cut, you can see the whole stratigraphic column of the bedrock exposed.


 

But at any rate, here’s a clipped version (due to upload size restrictions) of the recording of both the air chimes and the Supertyfon.  Enjoy!
