I needed a distraction on Sunday, so I took my kayak to the White Oak River somewhere around low tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was windy on the river, so the brisk paddling helped take my mind off my headache. I paddled to one of my favorite spots that I seldom visit anymore, because it is a longer drive and I have to pay to park my car at the launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f012-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f012-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f012-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f012-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f012.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After today, I think I&#8217;m going to have to return. The consistency of the mud was amazing. Some of my mud-holes are very deep and easy to sink into, but you float back up because the mud isn&#8217;t thick enough to hold you down. Then there is the really thick mud that takes 10 minutes of struggling to get in up to my ears and it&#8217;s nearly impossible to go completely under. The mud I visited today was pretty easy to sink into, totally bottomless, and thick enough that when I went under, I had to claw my way back to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f002-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f002-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f002-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f002.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When I arrived at the spot where I take my boat out of the river, I stripped down to my PVC briefs, grabbed my GoPro and my trusty machete and went to locate my old sinking hole, which I assumed would be grown over with swamp grass by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot had changed since my last visit (The Demise of Tarzan, I believe). It took me a little while to find my favorite spot, hidden in the grass. I probably should have kept my shoes on for my exploratory trip. Pants might have been helpful, also. By the time I found what I was seeking, my toes were bleeding and my legs looked like I had been caught in a tornado with a box of paper. i.e. I had 1000 paper cuts from the appropriately named saw grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f006-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f006-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f006-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f006-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f006.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After I found my spot, I sank quickly up to my shoulders, drug myself out, and went back to clean up and swap the GoPro for a better camera and tripod. I must say, even with a painful headache, it was worth every cut to enjoy that mud. I wriggled my body into the cool, inviting mud, went completely under several times, and otherwise just enjoyed the feeling of the mud as much as I could, under the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f007-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f007-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f007-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f007-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2019-06-30_f007.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing I could not do is get an erection. It all felt very good and rubbing my crotch brought me pleasure, but whatever was causing the pain in my head wasn&#8217;t going to let me get erect and cum. Oh well. At least I got a few hours of distraction from my pain. I&#8217;m hoping that today is the end of this damn headache, so I can get on with my life. I think you will enjoy the video when I get around to releasing it. From what I&#8217;ve seen of it, it is a great quickmud video with a little erotic action thrown in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
