General mudding
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.

End of Season Mud

Tuesday’s trip was a nice paddle, and a pretty day to be on the water, but the low tide was really lame, for some, inexplicable reason. I did wade around a bit, and found … Continue reading
The Interview
I recorded an interview, today, that I hope to use in my “Making a Mud Movie” movie. The weather, today, is absolutely lovely. I felt like it would be appropriate to do this interview outdoors, so I made it happen. I’ll find out how successful I was when I begin to weave the interview into … Continue reading
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
