That stuff is like quicksand and there are signs posted not to go out on those mud flats.
It sets up like concrete, made of glacial silt.

Agreed.
Good fishing in Byrd Creek and then on to the Kenai Penninsula. The upper Russian River and Hope Creek are great spots as well. I also like the Anchor River down by Homer.

Its really crazy how quickly you can get sideways here. Even experienced people.
Marc Andre Leclerc one of the best climbers in the world died within sight of our suburbs here in JNU.

There was a story a long time ago of someone getting stuck up to their waste on those flats near Anchorage. Tried to lift them out with a helicopter. Unfortunately it ripped him in half. Not the best way to go.

when we were up there my wife wanted to go the the restaurant that had the replica of the bus from the movie Into the Wild, I don't know if I'd ever heard the story before that, found out all about it while we were there, of course we had to watch the movie when we got home, everyone seems to consider that dude a folk hero of some sort, I think he was a dumbass, among other things

Surprised they don't keep oxygen tanks on hand for this type of situation.

my parents left the weekend before last to head to their camp in Nikiski. they have some good friends that have a homestead south of Homer on the other side of Kachemak Bay. they will spend time there as well.
When they come back in September they will have a few ice chests of Silver/Red/King Salamon and plety of Halibut.

I'd think of family and watch the sun set over watching a bear eat my intestines personally.

hypothermia would kill you anyways. 38-40 degree water and you would have to wait till low tide 10-12 hrs later. most tanks give less then an hour.

I was holding onto her as she drowned. I’m hanging onto her and I had to let go. I had no feeling in my arms, in my hands. I just had to let go,” he said. “She was alive, conscious. There was nothing we could do.”

They have already invested in signs telling you not to go out there...

seems like jetting them out is the only feasible way, if that's accessible

Oh didn't think of the hypothermia, good call. I don't know anything about tanks, so yeah dumb comment on my part thanks for helping me learn.

I don't know about that, but I would definitely take this death over the guy who died upside down from being stuck in a cave in Utah call Nutty Putty. That was tortuous. At least here it was freezing temperatures and going numb before drowning would be better than slow suffocation.
