[pct-l] More at Sonora, go around water

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I did the same for the creek in Section I, I think it was called  
Falls creek. Walked cross country about 2 miles and had a few  
difficult side creeks along the way, but once we got above the  
outflow of Tilden Lake, there was a small log over the now tiny Falls  
creek and we didn't even get our feet wet.
