Just for fun I thought I’d take a picture of each creek crossing I made. In fact I left one out, #3 as I messed up the picture, but it was only a little feeder creek. This many Creek crossings is another good reason to call this my “Wet Feet Hike” The one above — Devil’s Den — was the first and one of the deepest. It only came up to my knees, so nothing really challenging.

Creek Crossing #4 – Long Creek – I missed out crossing #3 which was just a hop across some unnamed feeder branch. One of my favorite camping sites is up on the bluffs to the left. Copyright © 2019 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

Creek Crossing #5 – Long Creek – Nice and easy, though deeper than the others, but not over my knees. Copyright © 2019 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

Creek Crossing #6 – Long Creek – It pays to take your time and make sure of your footing on these slipery rock shelves. Copyright © 2019 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

Creek Crossing #8 – Long Creek – The last crossing. Now for an uphill slog to the tower. Copyright © 2019 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

As I missed out crossing #3 (it was a blurred picture), here’s another image to take it up to a nice round eight. As you can see it was also very muddy in places.
