Wringing out socks from a dip in the drink... The night that we were camped at the base of the towers was filled with torrential rain. That made the river across the trail back to civilization swell from a boisterous creek to a raging torrent. In the process of placing logs across a particularly tricky section, I went in up to my thigh. Fortunately, I wasn't wearing my pack, and I was able to stay on the log & get back to shore. One boot was thoroughly soaked, so I had to finish the last two hours of our momentous hike in my sandals.
