I went paddling on Hunters Creek yesterday. That creek is where I did most of my early exploring back in the mid 90’s. I paddled past the sites of some of my early videos. If I hadn’t had a destination selected, I would have stopped at a few places along the way, just for old time’s sake.
However, I had a spot in mind, and the tide wasn’t going to wait for me to get there. I had about a 2 mile paddle that I expected to execute in about 30 minutes. I didn’t plan on having to cross as many fallen trees as I did, and I definitely didn’t plan on the beaver dam. I had to get out of my boat and drag it over at least 10-20 logs. I arrived at my destination about 30 minutes behind schedule, but the tide was pretty low and I ended up having enough time to shoot a clip and enjoy myself for a while.
In the clip, I play an explorer, wearing my hat, a sleeveless shirt, jeans, and boots. I come to a dangerous looking expanse of mud that I must cross, so I use a rope with a grappling hook to aid in my crossing. I’m not going to tell you how the story ends, but, like so many of my swamp explorer movies, it doesn’t end well for the explorer.
I went out with two movie ideas, but only one of them was possible. After finishing it, I turned off the recording equipment, stripped off my jeans, removed some debris from the mud, and horsed around for a while, before packing up and paddling to a spot where I could swim and get cleaned up.
The water where I was on Hunters Creek is fresh and cool. It was a hot day, and it felt really good to be in the water. I took my time getting myself, my clothes, and the rest of my gear cleaned up and packed in the boat. I was really in no hurry, since I still had 4 hours of daylight. The paddle back took a little longer, as I was going against the current and still had to cross a lot of log jams, but I was in my element on the creek.
I’ll be releasing a new video clip, soon. I thought I was going to edit one tonight, but I had a couple of phone calls, I had to help my neighbor with his computer, and now it’s after 11pm and I’ve got to work in the morning. I have several non-bondage videos that I need to edit and publish. I’ll definitely have something new before the end of August.
