Quicksand Fans

Summer is here. Blazing sunshine, blue sky and hot temperatures are with us so this afternoon I headed to a pretty luscious quarry and had my first muddy skinny dip of the season.
1 ft+ of creamy silky natural clay and in some spots you could sink to your waist without efforts.
I've been playing in there for more than one hour and had a good amount of work out with that; that was so good that heading out the quarry I had hard time just crawling forward and right now I feel my muscules aching a bit hehe...you say, getting older?
After the session I took a few snaps of the place.

Wish I could have gone to my small personal mud pit, but I gotta keep some newly-planted grass watered... oh well, maybe some other time. like your location though.

Awesome looking place! Congrats on your first of the season. Nothing feels better on bare skin than mud... well, maybe a sexy lady.

Looks a lot like my spots. Man, quarries are so great, good get.

Vaguely where is it, if I may ask? Like just state or hemisphere or whatever.

That looks like an amazing spot! I need to perhaps look around for some quarries in my area (PA) but I also am kinda concerned about security in some of them.

That looks like a great spot!

It just looks so inviting!

Now why couldn't Herne Bay been like that!?

Aching muscles, I went mudding the other day and when I started to pull out leg cramp big time.

This getting old is for the birds.

Leg cramps can be rather annoying and painful. In the past, when I sunk into quicksilt, with a very long extraction time, I would sometimes get calf cramps which are aggravated if my feet aren't flat, which is hard to do when there is nothing solid beneath them! I would writhe in pain, feel almost light-headed, and would frantically struggle to work myself out as fast as I could, which was not fast enough! But once I was able to get out, and force my feet flat on the ground, the pain would then go away. Cramps in my thighs would last longer, even when out of the mud, causing the leg(s) to seize up completely sometimes. At my Crescent Road pond, when the mud flats (long since covered in sedge grass except for my sinking spot which I keep open) were first exposed, I once had to just use my arms to drag myself to shore/solid ground because my legs were totally frozen, while a low flying plane flew overhead! My legs are always sore for days afterwards when I get cramps, and was encountering them sinking even 20 years ago!

So, I feel your pain!
