Haven't been to N. Meck in a long time so I hope to get an answer here...

Is there a way to get across the creek while running without getting my shoes soaking wet?  

Thanks in advance....

There is a bridge just down stream from there... You might have to hop 

And skip over a few things to get to it....   Cheesy

Last time I was there someone had put some rocks in the water to step on. It's only a few feet across anyway, unless it's rained recently.

I put the rocks there to make it easy to cross the creek. The rocks keep getting move around and I keep arranging them back into position for walkers and runners. I'll fix them next week. I'm heading to Snowshoe as soon as I get off work to ride some DH!!

Thanks for all the ideas.   

-Can't jump that far, I'm sort of old.

-I have a thousand grocery bags.  Never thought of that.

-New shoes, not quite ready to submerge them yet.

Was planning on running there today after my bike ride but we got caught in a storm that we had to wait out at a gas station.  It was too late when we finished.  Maybe another time.
