Where and When

So, as stated, my drift experience began with a drive to nowhere. I chose to use this method so that I would get outside of my usual area of familiarity. I've lived in Milwaukee my entire life, and have had plenty of time to thoroughly explore the surrounding neighborhoods. I enjoy discovering new places, even if they are but 20 minutes away from home.

I chose to head out on Tuesday, February 3rd, which was a rather chilly afternoon. The drift itself began around 3:00 pm and ended around 4:00 pm.

I began by driving south, and then west. eventually I exited the highway on Moorland Rd. and continued trying to remove myself from my area of familiarity. I ended up in Duplainville, which is a small town in Waukesha, WI, about 20-30 minutes west of my home in Milwaukee.

I had been looking for a nice place to stop, but the area is littered with gated communities and other places that seemed restricted. I'm all for suffering for your art, but I don't need anybody calling the cops on me. Finally, while driving down Duplainville Rd., I spotted it. There was an intersection to the east of me and a railroad track. This is where I wanted to stop. Admittedly it's the railroad that attracted me. I've always enjoyed following the tracks, there's such an interesting aura of history about it. I turned east down Weyer Rd., parked in front of a farmhouse, and spun my arrow to begin my search for sound.
West. I was happy to be heading towards the train tracks.
