Deep Mud Adventures
The Longest Vlog
This vlog entry is way too long. I encoded it as a very low resolution/quality and the file is still too large. However, I didn’t really shoot anything for sale, so I wanted to assemble some of everything into a video so I could, at least, share some highlights from my trip into the swamp, … Continue reading

I wore jeans, which offered some protection against sharp sticks and saw grass, but they also make it harder to slog through the deep, sucking mud. The tide was pretty low and going out fast when I started into the canals. It … Continue reading
