If At First You Don’t Succeed …
I’m not sure why I didn’t think of it, before, but today, I cut a piece of bamboo (about 12 feet long) and took it with me to the swamp to replace the log that broke under my weight a couple of days ago. The idea was to hang, upside down, over the deep soupy … Continue reading
Back in After a Short Break
I had to take a few days off from mudding. My list of unfinished chores was getting pretty long. The turtle pond was in dire need of some attention, my grass needed mowing, I needed to repair some equipment, the house needed cleaning, and I had video to edit. The sh*t hit the fan on … Continue reading
Late Start
I got off to a late start, today, but it was a very nice day and I figured there was no harm in getting out, even if I missed the low tide. When I arrived, I found the tide wasn’t as low as I had hoped, but I had about an hour before it would … Continue reading
A Much Better Day
Well, today’s trip into the swamp went much better, and I had a good time. The difference was probably down to a good night’s sleep. I picked out some translucent, purple, latex briefs for this trip, and I brought my breathing tube, so I could stay under for a while. My plan was to sink … Continue reading
Back to the Swamp
I went into the swamp, today. I brought my new camera guy, and I wore a new pair of metallic blue swim trunks. In preparation for this trip, I did something a little different; I shot some video, while I was getting things ready, and I had camera guy shoot some video when we arrived … Continue reading
Three consecutive days of mud
I don’t even know where to start. You probably saw my previous post from Friday’s adventure. I tried again on Saturday, but this time I took my professional audio gear to deal with the wind. Saturday was a rough trip; my toes got so cold in the mud that they were pins-and-needles for at least … Continue reading
Thick Mud in Speedos
The tide wasn’t as low as I would have hoped, today, but it was low enough to expose some really thick mud for about an hour. I exploited that window of opportunity and got very muddy! The first image (top left) is the setup for the movie I shot. Here you see an exhausted swimmer(?) … Continue reading
Labor Day Weekend Swamp Adventure
As I write this entry, I’m still wearing the jeans I wore out to the swamp, and they are still wet. It was a nice day, today. The low tide was a little disappointing so I headed to the peat swamp in the woods. I was loaded for some serious mudding. I had my heavy … Continue reading
Mud Diving
I hadn’t planned on taking my kayak out on Sunday. I had paddled 10 miles on Saturday, down the White Oak River, and my back was still sore from lifting boats. However, I was invited to meet a friend who was fishing on the beach, and I knew parking would be bad out there, so … Continue reading
