Deep Mud Adventures
Excellent Swamp Adventure
I was a little late, getting out of the house this morning (Tuesday, August 25), but I was still able to take advantage of an unusually low tide for some serious fun in bottomless swamp mud. When I arrived, the tide was already low, so I didn’t have enough water to paddle to my play … Continue reading
Two Days in a Row
The weather has been dry and the winds calm, so I’ve had several opportunities to catch a pretty decent low tide. Today was no exception. The low tide was near noon, so the sun was pretty harsh. Harsh sun makes for dark shadows, but I stuck with my Lumix for all of the video to … Continue reading
Midday Swamping
Today I paddled a few kilometers on the creek to slog around in one of my favorite spots. It was very warm. The mud was very warm. The sun was wicked hot. There were no biting flies. Oh, and the tide got pretty low so I had access to all sorts of mud. I should … Continue reading
Damn Flies
I went for a sunset paddle on July 21. I thought it would be fun to visit a mud hole I haven’t been to in a years, take some photos, shoot some video, and also enjoy a nice long, late-day paddle. Unfortunately, the biting flies were too much for me to enjoy my stay in … Continue reading

A Windy Day in the Swamp
With an impending full moon and no recent rain, the afternoon low tide was likely to be pretty low. The wind was blowing pretty hard, which threatened to create a wind tide, but I figured it would be nice to go for a paddle, even if I couldn’t find any mud. The wind turned out … Continue reading
Bank Censorship FYI
Just FYI, the quicksand videos are disappearing from my store as each one gets flagged for featuring an actor dying. Today, my Oct 4, 2019 video (“Far Off the Beaten Path”) was removed. A month ago it was “Left to Die”, which had a pretty damning title from a time when these rules didn’t apply. … Continue reading
May 14 Mud-Break
I started making a video blog about this trip, but my narration just sounded corny. I went out today because the tide was looking like it might get very low and I needed a break from my demolition project. The weather was a mild 70F/21C with a light breeze. It could have been warmer. I … Continue reading
