General mudding
Just One Chance
Today was the only day this week I had a good chance of doing something in the swamp. Friday could be an option, but I am scheduled to give blood on Thursday, after which I generally take a day off from hyper physical craziness. So, the low tide was around 01:00 pm, today, so I … Continue reading
Spring Weather
Well, the weather is mild, but still quite cool. I wanted to go mudding this morning, but it was around 50F (10C), and I just couldn’t bring myself to get naked and wet before lunch at such chilly temps. The forecast is calling for highs of 70F (21C), early next week. I’m anxious to get … 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
Busy, Busy, Busy
This update is a little late. I was out last week on Thursday and I stopped by my peat mud hole to see how it weathered the winter. I hadn’t really planned to sink, because it was getting late, but the peat mud looked so good, I had to jump in for a quick struggle. … 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
Setbacks
Well, I was optimistic, and the weather is really warming up fast. Today would be a perfect day to go mudding, if I were in any condition to get into the mud. Sadly, I am not. In my spring enthusiasm, I managed to get a serious case of poison ivy infection. My left leg is … 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
Late Season Mud
It was an unseasonably warm day, and there was a pretty decent low tide, so I set out in hopes of getting in the mud and shooting some video. I put on my Body Glove (full body wetsuit) for protection against the cold mud and water. I put jeans, boots and a shirt on over … Continue reading
