Actually where I crossed, you could only tell where the creek was because 
there was a depression in the snow field, and you could hear the creek 
underneath. There was no liquid water in sight anywhere around.

The snow must have been several feet thick in that area, but I still didn't 
feel to comfortable hearing the water roaring under foot......
