Nice article , I was able to read the article and view the 15 seconds video.
The article was not behind a paywall.

Island Packet articles were always behind a paywall for me, too, until I subscribed. <shrug>

Richard, years ago you sent me to Fish Haul Creek Park for early morning birdwatching! It's a beautiful spot that still doesn't get much foot traffic and well worth a visit, but at low tide especially there's a lot of pluff mud so you do have to be aware. If I'm remembering right there was a warning about it on the marker at the beginning of the trail out to the beach but I don't know if it's still there. In any case this woman says it's a frequent trek for her so I'm guessing that people getting stuck isn't a frequent occurrence. I'm glad she's okay. :)

They probably geofence the site. Paywall if you are in an area near to HHI (noticed @Laurie is in NC). I have been reading Packet articles for years without paywall, but I'm reading from Canada. We use geofencing all the time at work to restrict access.
