Clusters of brown cattails clog the water, leaving scant few spaces available for wading explorers to trudge. The current beneath the surface is routed and rerouted, forced between the shoots of these water-dwelling reeds, but nonetheless black and thick with swirling mud. Strong, deadly, and deep water lies further to the west, beckoning but cordoned off by rows of hardy plants.
