Drift 1 Strategy

I've always loved wandering in urban areas. Growing up in the suburbs all my life made it a special trip for me when I managed to visit the downtown area of a city. That is why I'll be starting my drift in the downtown area of Milwaukee. I figured I could start from a well known landmark or location. That way someone could easily find it and follow the same path I did, should they have the desire to. I plan to start at the Fonzie statue just south of West Wells Street, facing West. I'll be using the dice strategy of:

• 1-2: left

• 3-4: right

• 5: reverse direction

• 6: cross street

This was simply the method that appealed the most to me. It would make the trip feel like a game of chance.

Key:
Green/Red Marker = Start/End of path (respectively)
Blue with dot Marker = Sound included on this page
Blue without dot Marker = Additional sound recording locations

I would say the dice method of selecting a path didn't work quite as I had hoped it would. There was one time where I had to reverse direction and follow the exact same path backwards a number of throws. I also walked on the same block of Michigan Street a total of 3 times (though, not always the same side). But in some cases I would never have heard some of the sounds, that either passed my detection or were simply non-existent the first time through, had I not retraced my footsteps.
