I grew up in CT and south RI - let me tell you that Rhode Island is an interesting place. Here, you really need to drive 2 - 3 hours to south NJ or DE or MD eastern shore. I am going to try the one possibly promising nearby location this weekend - have a unique break from the routine.
Wow - if that pit is really over your head, it does have good consistency.
I honestly don't know yet. Bottom could be only one inch below my feet or it could be...well, once it's over your head, who cares any more?
Actually, I'll be quite happy with it even if I find out that my toes were only half an inch from solid ground. It is already quite nice.
The single branch I found under there was sturdy enough to support me (not that one weighs much when half-suspended in mud!) and feels sturdy, but I don't know if it's sturdy-feeling because it's on something solid, or if it's just really wedged tightly into the sides of the mudpit.
Can you send me some of your hot weather? If I can get the temperatures up, I can look for the bottom this weekend. Sorry you have to drive so far, though...I wish I could send you some of my mud in exchange for those extra degrees.
I wish you a lovely sinky outing.
