We've got good mud. It's thick and slippery and mucky enough to pull your shoe right off your foot. Of course, when that happens, you're not thinking: "good mud." Regardless, it's good. And there's plenty of it when spring brings rain, more rain, and more rain still. Like this spring has.
The benefit of a wet spring is a healthy lake level that makes you think CANOE, especially on those rare wind-free days. Of course, getting the canoe into the lake was always a trick. Because of the mud, the slippery, mucky good mud. But hurrah! A new dock!
What do you get when you put two heavy dock sections in the hands of three strong guys wearing muck boots? You get one, and then two, and then three guys dumping muddy jeans and pond-water soaked socks into the washer -- after they'd finished the dock, of course.
Just one view from a perch six inches above the mud.
