Exploring
Much Needed Adventure
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 … Continue reading
Revisiting an old mud hole
I had been pondering a trip out to the river for a while. Yesterday, I decided to make the drive and explore a spot that I haven’t visited in over 5 years. I used to have a bit of a clearing where I pulled my boat up on shore and a trail to my mud … Continue reading
Video Experimentation
On April 4, I went out around low tide. I was actually a little late, but it was kind of cool and very windy, so it wasn’t a good day for getting naked and wet. However, I had a mission. I had been testing a low-tech panning trick at home, that involves nothing more than … Continue reading
New Denim Shorts
I went for a paddle, yesterday, and I took my recently acquired denim shorts. Those of you who follow me on deviantArt may have seen a high resolution photo of me, wearing these shorts. I love the way they look on me. So, yesterday the tide didn’t get very low on the creek, but I … Continue reading
A Long Dry Spell
The last time I got out to the swamp, it was August 14 and we had gotten 1.8″ (4.5 cm) of rain the day before. I was so excited about getting out to the swamp, I didn’t even consider the previous day’s rainfall, which I had recorded on my calendar just 12 hours before. I … Continue reading
Crotch Level Photos
This is a little embarrassing. I was trying to recreate a cool image I got on my GoPro last year, but all I got was a bunch of crotch level photos of me, up to my thighs in mud, wearing a speedo. They started out clean, as these things usually do. Then I worked my … Continue reading
Yellow Trunks
The tides have been uncooperative, this past week, and I’ve had a lot of work to do. Today is the 2nd day I wanted to go out early to catch an early morning low tide, but the temperature was too cool. The cool nights are wonderful, so I hate to complain, but I’m not going … Continue reading
Quicksand!
Today, I revisited the quicksand. It was a fun trip, but the quicksand wasn’t very deep. It might be a good thing that it wasn’t much deeper, because I got pretty well struck, a couple of times. That sand sets pretty hard, and it isn’t easy getting it to let go, when you can barely … Continue reading
Mostly Muddy
The weather was pretty good today. It was 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20C) and sunny. There was a strong gusty wind that gave me a bit of a chill. The low tide was amazing. It was low from the time I set out on the water until after I returned to my car. That was about … Continue reading
Exploring
The weather forecast today was for rain and thunderstorms, but it was looking pretty safe around 10:00 this morning, and low tide was around 11:00. I figured I wouldn’t get time to play, but I wanted to have a look around and take a short stroll through the bog, if nothing else. The weather was … Continue reading
Warmer Weather has Arrived
The weather has warmed significantly in the past 10 days. I ventured out, yesterday morning, to clear some log jams in the creek, and slog around a bit in boots and tight jeans. I wasn’t ready to dive into the bottomless mud and swim in the cool water to clean up, just yet. It wasn’t … Continue reading
