Stream Crossing 2 - Sierra Nevada  2016

Top: stream crossing using rocks. Bottom: stream crossing using piled-up logs.

Using the rocks would have been much more elegant and graceful, but Mike used the logs, scrabbling across on hands and knees. As has been noted, Mike dislikes stream crossings, especially those involving rock-hopping: the rocks are usually spaced way too far apart, so he'll go quite a bit out of his way to avoid them.
