General mudding
Warm weather
It was too nice today not to get out on the water for a while. The first day of the month is often one of my busiest days, so I hustled to take care of business before tossing my boat on the creek and going for a short paddle. I couldn’t resist the urge to … Continue reading
Mild Weather
The weather has been really mild, for February. I’ve been watching the tide charts and weather reports, looking for an opportunity to partake in some swamp mud. It seems like it’s been forever, since my last mudding trip. If nothing else, I could use the exercise, and my skin needs softening. I’ve also got a … Continue reading
