\"\"<\/a>It was the nicest day you could ask for this late in the season. I’ve been really anxious to get back out into the swamp, so today I seized the opportunity. The tide got really low, so there was lots of exposed mud, and I spent as much time as I could, enjoying it.<\/p>\n

I paddled to my favorite spot with the thickest mud. I wish I had someone with me, recording the behind the scenes action, because the adventure started well before the camera started rolling.
