[pct-l] fording the White River??

[rellinwood at worldnet.att.net (Robert Ellinwood)]

Lookout(Connie)...  but also anyone who's been there,

Going north on the Glacier Peak relo, after descending Indian Creek, is it
possible to wade the White River right there, w/o dipping south to the
bridge in a few miles?  I realize conditions and how early/late in the
summer would determine a lot.  So, let's assume September when a NOBO hiker
might be hitting the area and that there has been no monster storm lately.
Doable?
