SNOW LAKE, NM If I never have another stream crossing in my life, I probably won’t complain My map says there were 83 crossings of the Gila River. I didn’t count, but if I had tried I would have lost count. My shoes and socks were constantly soaked and heavy. Crossing the river slows you down, as well as presents a danger on the slippery river rocks. The flood two years ago washed everything but the kitchen sink downstream, so there was lots of climbing over and around debris. Trying to find trail is pretty daunting, as it often disappears…
