[pct-l] Stream Crossings after the High Sierras

[m.karon@xxxxxxxxx (Marshall Karon)]

Generally there are few stream crossings after the High Sierras which
require going through the water. However, that all depends on the season and
snow pack. Washington could have a few, especially if the bridges/logs are
washed out. If you have light weight sandals, you might like to have them.
