[pct-l] Mt Adams Stream Crossings

[RJ Lewis]

Same thing can happen to those washes in the desert that are so nice and 
shady....get a bit of rain up in the mountains and several hours later a 
wall of water up to several feet high comes roaring down the wash, 
taking everything and everyone with it. I have pictures of what an inch 
of rain in the desert can do. I took them myself. ;-)
Be careful out there folks- Mother nature may be beautiful, but she is 
*not* forgiving.
