Ten Days In Death Valley - Volume One

[DeathValleyDazed]

I did cross at the Corduroy Bridge, as much to check it out as anything.  I can’t remember muck being too much of a problem.  I seem to remember a few places where I picked my path carefully. But nothing that got too bad. Maybe it was just really dry?

My theory about the muck and Corduroy Road Bridge as a crossover point is that the Salt Creek is the narrowest at the location making the bridge even possible. I recall from my two visits to the bridge that i wore regular hiking boots ok. However, cross the valley floor in most other parts is why I never regret using the good ol' Walmart Rubber boots.
