[pct-l] Boots/shoes and stream crossings

[scourtway at bpa-arch.com (Steve Courtway)]

I hiked that section three years ago, I only needed to use my *plug* reef
sandals on the Fish Creek side route thru Iva Bell hot springs, the rest of
the main JMT crossings were hoppable.  This was 1st week July.

> I'm planning a John Muir Trail hike this July, and the northern half is
pretty new to me.  The guidebook indicates a lot of stream crossings.  My
concern is with having wet shoes all the time.  I've been using trail
running shoes in the Grand Canyon and the Southern Sierra, and I like them
just fine but they don't repel water or dry quickly.    Do people bring
Tevas or camp shoes, or do you just deal with it?  Thanks very much.
