Tortoise,
Since your balance, at your advanced age, is not what it used to be, may I
suggest you wear
a Coast Guard approved life jacket whenever crossing a creek?......and
perhaps a hard hat
to protect against injury from falling objects such as tree branches or pine
cones.
Remember....SAFETY  FIRST.
