Tomorrow is the first time we will have to ford a river. So far all of the brooks, streams, rivers and creeks that usually require fording have been so low on water that our feet haven't gotten wet yet. Another sign of just how dry this summer has been. Most folks have crocs or other camp shoes to wear during these crossings. Churchmouse and I don't carry them, seeing them as additional weight that would only be used a few times...why carry 14oz 2000 miles to avoid a day of wet shoes. So we are finally at the point where our decision is going to result in soggy socks...or will it?
I checked the hiker box and low and behold...river shoes! big enough for us both to wear, so we'll each carry one and will have dry feet! Ask and the trail provides!
Also, it looks like there might not be a real pay phone at Abol Bridge, so you all may have to wait until I get done to read the rest. Sorry!
