Trek Assessment No. 1

Overall, my treks proved to be no-hassle and adventurous excursions. However, I can recollect a few snags along the way during my first trek. The amount of time I spent on trek 01 was an unattractive quality itself - I believe I spent over seven hours collecting ambient noise. A major portion of this time was spent waiting by a set of railroad tracks for over two hours in hopes that a train would pass. I had nothing but my thoughts to pass the time. A train finally did pass but the recording was distorted rendering the audio track unusable.

On the same trek, it was difficult for me to acquire a wide range of sounds. I could hardly escape the monotonous and overbearing drone of the city traffic and had trouble discovering unique sounds. At the end of the trek I planned to catch a bus back to the university but could not locate the stop. I literally had to walk miles to the next bus stop since by then it was very late and few were open.
