Coolant Flush Done??... Disappointment!!... do again??

Just cleaned up my attempt at a Coolant System Flush.
As my post below states, i couldn't find the correct bolt on the engine block, so i didn't get to drain that area. I did flush from hose attached to thermostat, anti-freeze reservoir, and top hose going into firewall (heater core) but only did this one in the direction of the engine, not into the firewall.
The problem is as i ran the car when done, my fiancee says, "somethings leaking over there." Not a problem, i just forgot to screw the hose on the top of the radiotor....
BUT the stuff dripping out was disguiting!! Looked just as bad as the crud i just drained out!! Needless to say, i feel like i wasted my day, although i'm certain it won't be the last time, it's all a learning process!
I'd imagine that the crud leaking after the flush wasn't as dirt concentrated as before, but i just invisioned these almost clear fluid circulating throughout my system, but now the vision is gone!
Should i attempt this again in a few weeks, or is it expected that the coolant should look this bad this soon, given that i didn't drain from the engine block (and into the firewall)?
Anybody in NY/NJ Tri-state area doing this (or any other project) soon so i can learn/watch/help?
Thanks for any advice.
