"Mud Man became Mud Man, he says, due to 'a series of freak accidents!' that started in 1993 when floodwaters created the mud pit."

Isn't that the same backstory as Swamp Thing? No matter. Let's go!

Didn't Greg move to the area in 1993?

Where's the article? All I see is the picture. I assume that's Hidden Beach, but it never had a life guard stand before. Fear not, there's still a "wild" nude beach in town. I guess it's just very hard to get too, not in the near center of town like "Hidden Beach" which was actually easy to find. I have been in the mud pit but don't think I ever came across "Mud Man" - although a friend once had someone try to drag him off his bike into the mud pit.

Ok, I found the link. The Internets are so confusing. Nice article on Hidden Beach but they didn't mention that the woods around the beach used to be full of hidden zen gardens - each a little art project of rearranged wood, rocks and dirt. Sure, we could still go there to see what's left or I can take you to a massive WPA project called Hidden Falls which is an insane rock wall / stairway / structure framing a tiny natural spring. No one ever goes there - you can't see it from the street - It leaves you with a feeling of "what kind of people built this - and why?"

You don't know "Mud Man"?

Does anyone else find that hard to believe?

Although...I find it easy to believe that no one has ever seen you and Mud Man in the same place at the same time.

P.S. Rocky and Stoner have been to Hidden Falls with you before.

'It leaves you with a feeling of "what kind of people built this - and why?"'

I have this thought every day, e.g. this morning passing by the drive-through Starbucks.
