This rim of slimy, caked-on adobe mud is virtually part of the shoe now. It's slippery, like oily dog poo, and clings like hot tar. When it dries out, I should be able to smack the soles against each other, sending dried mudcakes everywhere. I grew up getting filthy in the woods of NJ, but you could always get all but the stains of dirt off of anything pretty easily. It was more like potting soil. This LA stuff is more like clumpy motor oil. No wonder they don't like nature here. If I grew up getting this stuff all over me, I'd be ready to pave over it all, too.
Yes, they rope in the rain and in the mud after the rain.

Sketches from my family trip to Farm Sanctuary NY. It was a very peaceful and inspiring experience.
These mud volcanoes (located in the italian Appennines) are not related to lava volcanoes. Small mud domes are created by geo-excreted liquids (fossil salt water, in this case) and gases (methane here), although there are several different processes which may cause such activity. The Padanian gulf existed 5 mya; 2,5 mya during a marine regression, sea water was trapped in a cretaceous flysch together with organic substance in an anaerobic environment. The flysch was covered by a deep layer of clay and sand. Nowadays, when a fault fractures the rock, fossil cold water, methane and other hydrocarbons mix with clay and surface deposits and erupt producing quiet mud flows.
