Dear All,

Can anyone tell me where I can get a hold of some shoes (like
snowshoes...ie High sirface area) that would enable myself to more
efficiently traverse mudflats? Or do snow shoes work?

Thanks

Mark,
We've found "Mudeers" to absolutely be the only means to work on
extremely liquified mud. You can obtain them through the Ben Meadows
Company (item #252574, $109 US); see www.benmeadows.com.
