Yes, finally. On the last day of the first long weekend of summer, I managed to get myself out to the good ol’ creeky marsh! It was a nice bright sunny day, not too hot or cold. The mosquitos were insane. The pit is full of water, which wasn’t entirely unexpected. It’s pretty early in… Read More »
Many of my Sunday drives this year have taken me past this awesome mushy mudding hole. Every time I pass by it, I take a minute to just stop and admire it. So, I’ve braved the chilly fall weather twice in two weeks, and indulged my fetish for deep mushy mud in this horribly located… Read More »
Well it certainly seems to be the end of summer here in the wondrous Canadian forest. Temperatures are falling with the leaves. There’s a chance it will warm up enough next week, but not enough to go swimming in my mud hole. I did manage to get out to the pit last week. There’s no… Read More »
I can’t believe there was more water on top of my glorious mud pit than there was last time I visited! 🙁 Fortunately, my repeated visits are having a positive effect on the mud’s squishyness. I managed to get good and stuck and thoroughly enjoy myself, no shovelling required!! It was a nice sunny day.… Read More »
Yes, they certainly are. They look good this year. This summer has been quite the scorcher, a hot sticky mess – one of my favourite things! I’ve been out to the mud pit again. All the prep work a few weeks ago is definitely paying off. The mud is very soft and squishy and not… Read More »
I figured 2 weeks with no rain would help my mud pit dry up a little, but I think there’s more in it now than when I started. So, next time I bring a shovel and engage in another round of mud pit maintenance. I will have to decide whether to work with the pit… Read More »
Yup. I managed to get motivated (read: bored) enough to venture out into the mosquito-infested back country to visit my lovely mud pits. This time, I was less concerned with getting off in the swampy mudness and more interested in prepping one of the water covered spots so it would be ready for use while… Read More »
Yes! I finally got off my fat ass and hiked out to my muddy mud place! So, I didn’t beat the timer after all, but I didn’t miss it by too much. Anyway, the nice muddy area around the creek is still pretty soaked. I’d really like to get in that mud, though, so I’m… Read More »
It’s been an absolutely beautiful summer here this year. There’s been the hot and humid periods, but we’re getting more decently nice days than last year. I’ve been feeling pretty lazy this season and have been favouring short to-the-point excursions.. I’ve made two trips in the last 4 weeks or so. One to the marsh… Read More »
So far this year is off to a pretty dirty start. 🙂 I’ve been to the pits 3 times in the last 4 weeks and each time has been pretty fun. This past weekend was a bit of a test. I wanted to see how long it would take to get to the pits via… Read More »
