My Sunday, September 7'th photos concluded (Part 5):
Another photo of the mushed up area:
I headed back to the other meadow with the bog, which had water for cleanup, to undress there, in preparation for returning to my mushed up spot. But, while I was heading westward to the meadow with the quaking bog, I came to realize that the mud was going to be too thick to sink in for any horizontal wallow, and wouldn't be worth the effort. I had vastly superior stuff at my main Crescent Road pond, namely my deep spot, as well as the shallower clay spot for playing horizontally in. So, I got my things and returned to my Crescent Road pond, noticing that the water level in the puddle dropped slightly, although still not as much as I wanted, but at least it was dropping fast enough to be slightly noticeable that same day:
I then decided to have a videoed sink using my breathing tube to stay under the surface for an extended period of time, using swim goggles to keep the mud out of my eyes, and a latex swim cap to keep my hair dry because cleanup water was getting cooler at this late time of the season. Gamwam, you finally got your wish!
After that, I had more private muddy fun, including a stimulating horizontal sink in the thick shallow clay mud further to the south. Here are a couple of pix of my main bog at the end of the day:
I was happy that my knees weren't much of a problem this time, although during my hiking back from the meadow north of the Crescent Road pond, the outside of my right knee was feeling a bit sensitive for a while. As I headed towards home (actually towards my pick-up point), I picked some Shaggy Mane mushrooms. I got picked up by my dad down in the valley, after my long downhill descent. At home, my mom was very pleased about the mushrooms.
So, I managed to get a second outing, with an extended submergence caught on video, bubbles and all, which I was very happy about! One more 2014 adventure left!
