So I’m hiking by a creek. The creek got really shallow to the point where it turned to deep mud — basically quicksand. It was mushy, smelly, and freezing cold. I heard a rustling up ahead. I didn’t know that I was standing next to a nesting turkey hen. I decided it was a good idea to go up to the turkey to get a closer look. It’s the beginning of egg laying season so this mom was not happy I was there. The mother attacks me and I try to run and my feet go knee-deep into the mud. I pull out my feet but it’s just my socks. My boots got stuck in there. It was way too dangerous to try to go back and get them the mud was so deep. It was too cold to wear my wet muddy socks. I ended up hiking barefoot 2 miles back out of the reserve. My boots are still in that mud.
TL;DR — I tried to approach a nesting turkey and my boots got lost in quicksand so I had to hike back barefoot.
