There comes a time, about now ish this time of year that we have what are called Minus Tides. (Below normal tides) for which expose vast tracts of mudflats.
It looks as if I could easily walk to the SanJuan islands from this shot. Well I did come prepared for the hike..sloppy walk. Just some comfortable knee boots as I didnt want to encounter the sharper clam's that often reside in tidal mud, and the potential for other issues of the mud. But at the sign, the mud measures about 3 feet deep though is only ankle deep at just walking across it. If one were to work with the surface, then ya might get in that deep but that would take considerable effort and alas I was neither properly equipped nor ready for that sort of sinking endevor.

Me and Sara will be returning here in another few days to 'explore' further with another minus tidal event.
