Sorry for the huge delay in updates. I've been so busy with stuff that I forgot to do it for a while.

Damn this slow quicksand! I have half a mind to struggle!

Due to the repeated vandalism of the old Sinking Map (Originally created by DaBestNoobEver) I have gone through and created a whole new map, and have restored my backup of the old map. (My backup is from October 2016 - If anyone has a newer backup that isn't corrupted, please PM Me)

This new map works differently to the old one.

Firstly, It's not One map, but Two. One can be changed by anyone (Editable), the other can only be changed by me (Locked).
How this will work:
1. You can edit the editable map, make changes, add spots, etc. (To avoid being locked out of this map, as which happened to the old one, I have ticked "Prevent editors from changing access")
2. Once Per Month I will copy all of the edits to the Locked Map. (Anyone can view the locked map, only I can change it)

If the spots get deleted from the editable map by someone, I can always restore all the data from the "Locked" map, So at maximum, we would only ever lose one week of edits if someone vandalised the map. (Instead of the entire year we have lost in the old map)

The editable map can be edited by anyone. (It does say "No sign in required" but you may still need a Google Account) - The only other option is to set it to "Request Access" which means I would have to approve all accounts wanting access, (Which means I would have to see the email address of whatever account you use, - I WILL NOT DO THIS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.) - I like my Privacy, I'm fairly sure most of you do too.

  2. Make sure the "New Community Places" layer is selected (A Blue Bar appears in the left of the layer if it is selected - See Images:)

    If the Layer is not selected, Click Here to select the layer: (See Image:)

    The Layer will now be selected.
  3. Now you can add your place to the layer, Click the "Add Marker" button (See Image:)

  4. Zoom right in on the place you wish to add, and click ton add the marker, then add a descriptive name, and give the place a rating out of ten, talk about anything else you want in the box, such as privacy, access, information etc. and Click Save (You can even add a photo of the location, although this is entirely optional.)

  5. Select the paint bucket button and set the appropriate colour of the pin. (Colour definitions listed in the maps description)

    And you're done, the changes have been automatically saved!


(I might place in some custom map icons at a later date instead of the colour system if I have time) - If you want to suggest an icon to use for various reasons, please do!

Also, I have noticed there are some pins that are doubles, please, feel free to delete any duplicates or wrongly placed pins.

Either way, Get in there, have fun, and be safe out there!

(Note for myself: The Google account I have saved the maps under is "JimHensonIsNotaMuppet")


I added one near Gallatin, TN. I haven’t explored the full bog and the area has a privacy issue, but the mud feels great when you’re dealing with >105F summer days

I added a new spot and lines indicating where the channel of deep water is along the creek that leads to my spot. :lol:

I've marked the best mudding area I've found around here in a big (for Connecticut) tract of public land, lots of great places to explore and sink into while everything has been dry. Tag is Pequabuck River Mud, I plan to go back and cut some better trails/do some better mapping of the place so it's a little bit harder to get lost. I can't believe nobody else had pinned this place before! Where are all you other nutmeggers at!

This place really is a gem, there isn't much in the Hartford area otherwise, especially someplace private where you can ditch your clothes in the woods, sink up to your chest in warm sunny mud, and clean up only a few feet away in a warm soft-bottomed river. If this was more accessible, it'd be a 10/10, would strongly recommend.

Did some personal investigation of a marked spot at the west end of Lake Lowell near Nampa, Idaho... and it turned out quite well :D Didn't have the courage to sink any deeper than this, but I can only imagine what lies closer to the actual lake water... :twisted:
