| Water Crossing Notes: |
High water from this weekends flash floods in the region made us turn back at the first water crossing on Downes Brook Trail. Tried bushwhacking along the river for a calmer section (found a nice campsite), but the water was ripping and it looked like there was waist deep holes no matter where you crossed.
Threw in the towel and decided to give Potash a shot. The crossing there was a bit tamer, but still required wading in knee deep water. Boomer was not in to swimming in the fast moving water so we turned back.
