Hi Tee,
If I've got this right, you've got a short navigation section in the
header, then your main content, then more links at the bottom. In that
case, instead of "Skip to" to access the lower menu, why not use "More
Options", or something similar?
FWIW, my totally non-tech husband would be baffled by the wording "Skip
to Navigation" when he's already in a navigation section, and "Skip to
Section" doesn't mean anything to him.
Hope this helps.

For a mobile version of site that is achieved via media queries with no content negotiation, what
could be an appropriate wording to replace the "skip to navigation" or "skip to
sidebar section"?
In the case of mobile version of site, the "skip to" aided navigation can provide more user-friendlyness
for mobile browser users than screen reader user. Using a blog site site for example, a sidebar section that is
placed below the main content contains not only (e.g. categories) section but likely to be more, in this case
""skip to sidebar section" or "skip to navigation" doesn't seemed to be a best
description.
My take is to go with ""skip to navigation" however in the header section, there is also
a (quick) navigation menu for 'archives', 'about' and so on. I was also thinking maybe simply to phrase
it "skip to section" which gives the semantic meaning of HTML5 section tag, but I am also
worry that it's not a recognized phrase for web users.
