It's obviously not deep, but I had to walk back with wet socks. It was funny though, so it's okay.  Also, would a creek this "shallow" I suppose, be visibly frozen during the winter? Or would snow cover it?                                                             I noticed a lot of Canadian Goldenrod  (I believe)                            around my spot.  It's an in...
