Ah "canyouendure", you must know Dave to have picked up on that little misadventure! I hadn't heard them referred to by that name before but one of them was indeed not far north of Glen Ivy Hot Springs. Note that the mud was not actually any good. The better and even more difficult of the two to get into that had better clay was a few miles further north.

Just a little info for anyone contemplating looking for mud on the Red River. The Red River always always has some nice red clay just about anywhere west of Lake Texoma. Problem is, it is very rarely very deep and if it is deep, it is almost always very sandy. Now, if you're not far away, ok fine, no big deal to go see what you can find if you've got a canoe, ATV, or like to walk in places with nasty flora and fauna. But it's not really a place worth visiting if you're not local as you're probably going to be very disappointed with any mud you find. There is a quarry several miles west upriver of the I-35 bridge that is best accessed from the river by canoe but it is hit or miss as to whether there is deep mud there.

The one place you can usually find deep clay is at the far west end of Lake Texoma when the lake is way down. You will need a boat to get there and there is no mud exposed if the lake is anywhere near normal levels.

Most of the locations I find has sand and water and not dirt, clay, etc.
