Three went out, and one returned ...

_DSC1169
Three of us convened at 08:30 to venture out together into the deep swamp. Only one of us had any idea what he was getting into, and only one of us returned, but that’s how these deep swamp adventures go, sometimes. I, of course, was the one who had been there before, knew where we were going, and what to expect. I feel sort of bad, having lead the other two, blindly into danger. However, I don’t feel that bad, because they were pretty hard on me while we were out there.

They tied me up and hung me by my ankles over the mud such that my shoulders were resting precariously on the soft ground. My upper body was slowly engulfed by the thick mud. They gave me a breathing hose and threatened to leave me hanging there. Twice they took it away, and finally, my head was allowed to go under, with no way to breath. The black mud slowly closed over my entire face; first my eyes and nose, and finally my mouth. In a desperate struggle to breath, I managed to get my wrists free, so I could propel myself back to the surface, gasping for air. Needless to say, it’s not wise to try to kill me in my own swamp. I’m sure the quicksand has devoured them both, by now.

On a more serious note, we got still photos and video of our little adventure. I regret that we couldn’t have done a longer scene, but the mud is still really cold. It was an adventure, though, and we got some pictures for the foot fetishists.

There are new pictures in the gallery. Enjoy!

New Video

Ok, the new video has been uploaded to my clips4sale site, and there is a new, free video for everyone to enjoy.

A great day for mudding

pulling the canoe into the grass
It was a great day for mudding! It was sunny and well over 50 degrees. I’m not sure why, but I had the creek all to myself. I would have expected everyone to be out on the water on such a gorgeous day. I took my trusty video camera and shot some video. The stills you see here are from the video. As you can see, it was a very pretty day.

I went back to the new spot I’ve been exploring.The majority of the video is in the location pictured in this second video still image. The mud was thick, with great texture. I only wish it had been a little warmer!
In any case, it was an agonizingly slow sink. I never did find a bottom, but I could only sink up to my armpits, given the temperature and thickness of the mud. I stayed in the mud until I was shivering. Had I been closer to going under, I might have kept going, but I still had at least 10 inches to go down and my legs were locked in too tight to just bend my knees. It was really some great mud, and I had a great time. I’m not sure when I’ll get another chance to venture out, but spring is right around the corner, so I’m optimistic. I’ll have a new video for sale soon. I’ll probably put some out-takes on the web-site, for everyone to enjoy.

March madness

Spring isn’t too far away, and we’re still getting frost here on most nights. It is supposed to be in the mid 50’s (fahrenheit) tomorrow, so I’m going to take it on the chin and go out to see how muddy I can get without freezing my testicles off.

I’ve been doing some housekeeping on my hard drives and I stumbled across this old movie ...

When I shot this, I turned my consumer widescreen video camera on it’s side to better coverage, vertically. I then had to rotate the video 90 degrees and pan around on the image to follow the action. The video would have been longer if it hadn’t started raining. Had I known it was going to rain, I might have protected the camera so I could have hung there in the rain for a while longer. The rain adds a nice effect, and it’s hard not to love wet latex.

Wish me luck on my trip, tomorrow. If all goes well, I should have some video to share. Summer is coming ... I hope! Happy
