We'll both have water shoes for the wet crossings as well and she'll have them on if there is any chance she might fill a boot. She usually takes Crocs, but I might make her take her water shoes for this trip. Just a bit heavier, but much better footing.

Browtine... there were quite of few with both water walkers and with crocks this past weekend. Also a few sandals. I prefer the sandalsas I can walk in them a ways but thats just me. There are many crossings so I don't have to stop and start..

I'm with TM on this, I had a crappy pair of Teva knock-offs, I think they are Coleman, but regardless, being able to just keep going instead of stopping after each watercrossing, changing shoes, going another 500 feet and changing back was nice.

We'll bring the Salomon water shoes. They are comfy enough to hike in for extended periods if the terrain isn't bad and not all that heavy.

Extended forecast did a 180 from last night, it's back to looking pretty good for next week. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
