[pct-l] Boots/shoes and stream crossings

Don't worry about it.  You can bring tevas if you're not concerned about 
weight or you can get thtrail runners wet and they'll dry in an hour or 
so.  Your feet are wet from sweat anyway.  There's a good chance you can 
find ways around the streams.  I did it in August last year and didn't 
have to get wet once.

>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.
