The pack fell back into the creek when it landed. It wasn't because the ford was dangerous. The others with him who just waded across the creek getting their feet wet, had no troubles.

> And I don't remember any fords that I got my feet wet on before Crabtree Meadows. There was a creek crossing at Crabtree Meadows itself, but it wasn't dangerous except the logs I was using had ice on them in the early morning. Usually, by the end of July even the big fords on the JMT/PCT have calmed down and aren't a big deal.
