I arrived at the creek about an hour later. I&#8217;m still not sure my shortcut is really faster than paddling the extra 2 miles on the river, but it&#8217;s physically demanding, which I guess I enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/2023-09-12_swamp_4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I wasted some time after arriving at the creek, slogging through some mud that I had probably already explored, but I wasn&#8217;t sure if I had gone through there at low tide, so I took a detour. I didn&#8217;t actually do a lot in the mud. I wanted to sink in the silky mud on the shore of the creek. I set up my camera, did a really fun sink and realized, after I extracted myself, that I hadn&#8217;t started the camera. So, I washed off and did the entire thing again. By that time, the tide was coming back in.
