So, this is a very horse-friendly state park, most trails are combo horse and hiking trails. Or, so they stay. I saw very few other hikiers. And I soon figured out why. There's creeks all over, and no bridges, or even planks. The first one I came to wasn't so bad, but these cement things were very slimy.
So, not feeling like going "splash" in the creek while holding my phone and camera... I found myself a handy-dandy hiking skick which helped me with my balance very well.
But... this proved to be the easiest, dryest crossing of the day. I knew I was going to get wet when I cam across this...
I got wet halfway up to my knees. Waterproof boots = good if you're only ankle deep... deeper than that, they don't help much. The sights were totally worth getting wet for... but I DO think that those maps should have a warning that if you follow those trails... you'll get wet if you want to get to the end. The horses take their riders through... but us hikers... we get wet ourselves. At least warn us. I probably would have still done it... But I would have liked a warning.
