Shoe still stuck in the mud

[stuart]

When I was a little kid I was standing there talking to my big brother and my feet sank into the wet adobe clay.  (it had been raining for many days)   I couldn't pull my feet out of the mud and finally with much effort I managed to pull my foot out of the shoe.   We both then tried to pull the shoe out of the wet clay but no amount of effort would pull the shoe out.  They were new shoes and I was afraid to go home with one missing.   That was forty years ago, and the shoe must still be there.   
I wonder if Jorans shoe came off and he couldnt pull it out of the swamp no matter how hard he pulled it?

Stuart, I don't think that you ever wait when it went dry... and that you can search until the water comes.
