I did visit the bog again, at last. During our lockdown it has been dry for weeks, of course it just has had to rain for a couple days when i was finally able to travel to that area again.
I tried to do a couple videos but that little compact camera did not work as planned for most of the time. It did freeze, just shut off itself or fall over. I have to get a better solution.
Nature is beginning to take over and the forest is getting greener again.
Thats the only sequence that can really be used. That particular spot was okay, there have been others that have been deeper and/or stickier
Same spot, when i was trying to get out. Sticky enough that i really had to cling to that fallen branch of that tree
Just did a photo in the sunset. That type of area extends really far to the left and right and is truly bottomless. The plants and even the trees are some sort of floating on top of the liquid mud. You can see that the trees beginn to fall over by themself when they get too heavy. Navigating through that area means jumping from branch to branch. I have been there before and that mud gets brutal when the area dries up in late summer/early fall. I did try to shoot a video but that dumb cam just did freeze after a second.
