I did NOT do that first crossing...nope...not gonna do it...could not pay me..!!!! (Old Dude & Billy Goat do things that I just take pictures of)

The second creek -- BlueJay -- takes a bend just beyond the picture and pauses at about a two foot pool (otherwise, I would not have touched that log)

In both pictures, the hikers have unhooked the waistbelt and removed the straps from the hiking poles.

The high water is part of the reason that I am sitting out most of the areas that we would normally hit by now; when I start wishing -- mid log -- that I was at work, then I know I have made a bad choice.

The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
