Muddy footsteps

In the midst of the woods, noise is still prevalent. I took my dog for a walk behind my parents' house in the town of East Troy, Wisconsin. Our house is located on the outskirts of a camp where inner-city children come to experience wilderness in ways their own cities can't allow for. A trail has been beaten into the ground from decades of kids and counselors walking to and from the main camp located on a hill a half-mile from our residence. A small lake is parallel to the trail I walk and oftentimes the water pools on the trail: leaving a mess of mud and gunk from the water (easy to hear as I try to sidestep it). Kids walking on a trail on the other side of the lake can be heard if listened to closely.
