  • Barry had told me that your wife comes along most of the time, I would have liked to meet her. The creek crossings in BSF are plentiful, I remember 28 on my last hike in July. Thanks for your response and I am looking forward to meeting you on one of these hikes this year.

  • Hello Jay,
    how was Big South Fork? I saw Barry's pictures - they look wonderful. I am still fighting my cold so it was a good thing I did not go but hope to meet you on a future trip
