General mudding
A Perfect Fall Day
I put on my super-tight jeans and asked Mudwarden if he wanted to accompany me into the swamp. After updating his life insurance, he agreed to come along. We had the most beautiful weather you can imagine. The sky was completely clear, the sun was warm, there was nary a breeze blowing, and the tide … Continue reading
Late Season Mud
I took my weight into the swamp, today. The location I selected posed some real challenges for recording, so I opted to record with only the GoPro camera and the dedicated audio recorder. It was still a tricky businessl; after I was finished recording, I had to drag the boat to the water, so I … Continue reading
Late Day Low Tide
Even though the low tide was going to be very close to sunset, I ventured out in search of some deep mud. I arrived before low tide, in order to have a little extra time. I started out shooting some scenes for my documentary. For my feature video, I paired a cropped white t-shirt with … Continue reading
High water
I squeezed back into the jeans I wore on my last successful mud adventure, walked into the pond to get them wet, and had a friend snap a photo of me, so I’d have something for this blog entry. The water level has been really high, this week. I may have to do something in … Continue reading
A Great Way to Start the Day
I found some jeans that I can barely wriggle my ass into. I have to do an awkward little dance to get them over my hips. This morning, I put together the rest of the look. I cut off my long sleeved camo shirt, used a rope for a belt, and slipped into my diving … Continue reading
Trip Report for Sept 2
In spite of the fact that I was way too busy in the office to take time for mudding, I ventured out to see if the low tide was back to normal on Tuesday morning. As it turned out, I found very good conditions when I arrived, so I procrastinated on my office work and … Continue reading
A Friday Afternoon in the Swamp
It was a nice day to visit the swamp, even if the tides are not cooperative this time of year. Today was nothing like my last visit, but I found some mud to play in, for a few minutes. I first visited the peat swamp because I could see, on arrival, that the tide wasn’t … Continue reading
Swamp Marathon
I went out an hour before low tide today, because I was pretty sure I’d have another lame low tide. I figured I’d find a good spot, set up, and wait for the mud to be exposed, even if only for 20 minutes. Well, the tide was already pretty low when I arrived at the … Continue reading
Rain Update
We have gotten over 9 inches (23 cm) in the past 7 days. The creek is flooded beyond hope. I checked it, yesterday at low tide. I’m not sure when I’ll be out in the swamp, again. There is more rain in the forecast. Today, after I mowed as much as I could, I uncovered … Continue reading
