Each peak in the weather peaked at a slightly lower temperature than the previous peak, but was still quite warm. But, for this outing, things were now getting closer to marginal, with there being some light frost on ground shaded in the grass where a path into the meadow exited alders at my Crescent Road pond when I first got there. But, the air was still getting warm, and I just couldn't resist having a stimulating chest-deep sink in my sinking spot at the Crescent Road pond! 
Cleanup was a bit slow, since the water was too cold to immerse in, and so had to just splash to wet muddy skin, rub to loosen mud, splash to rinse, etc.I then headed to some meadows to the north, to check out the status of the pond with the quaking bog that I had discovered earlier on, having to drop my bike down a trail and walking the rest of the way down the trail through the woods, animal paths through the woods, and through the woods and meadow. When I got there, I was delighted to see that the water in the pond had mostly disappeared, exposing flat areas of brown peaty ground, with water being only in some small areas beside an old beaver lodge on the south side!
So, I knew that I just HAD to shoot a video there of me crossing it! But, I didn't have my junk shorts with me, nor my gorillapod for mounting the camera, which were left back at my bike. 
So, after taking many pix of parts of the area and leaving my camera and some other stuff there, I had to hike back through the meadow, forest, down paths and trails to get back to my bike to get the rest of my things, before going back through the trail, paths, and woods and meadow to return to the area, wasting a lot of time. I got all set up, when the sun went behind clouds, which made things slightly cooler than I wanted. So, I did some hiking around the area (found some nice thick fine black mud to the east, but was too shallow to be of interest) until the sun came out, before doing my video. After that, I did a lot of probing of the ground with my body, finding it to be a top peaty layer of dead vegetation, with a watery layer underneath for a foot or so, and then thicker mud down below that. There was nice mushed up stuff around the east edge, one patch which I used at the end of my video, but I wanted something thicker to play in. So, I cleaned up, packed my things, returned to my bike, and then had one last stimulating chest deep sink at my Crescent Road pond sinking spot, which felt heavenly, with my right hand dislodging some swamp gas that farted quite nicely at the surface. I cleaned up and called it a day.Here are the pix of the bog, which I couldn't wait to check out:

The lengthening nights were beginning to take their toll, and I knew that this was going to be my last sink of the year, once the warm sun worked its magic.
By the time I finished walking counterclockwise around the area, it was nice and quiet! 
I now had the area to myself finally! 
I picked a weekday in the middle of the week, away from the weekends (although the recent Monday was Thanksgiving), in hopes that things would be quiet in the woods, but that just
