There were supposed to be 16 stream crossings before the turnaround point, I think we might have added a few... but we had to have pictures or it wouldn't have happened :)
It was deeper than it looks here. MJ went first and got one of her boots wet (later leading to a mushroom foot), so I took mine off and crossed in my sandals.
Here is the Pyrex glass baking pan with four sweet potatoes. They are fresh out of the oven and very hot. You can see the caramelized sugar that oozed out of the sweet potatoes and perfumed the whole house with their delicious sweetness..
I have removed the leftmost sweet potato. I slit it lengthwise, spread it open a bit and start eating with a fork...

Two of my father's older sisters spent the last few decades of their lives in a house adjacent to this stream, and it is a place dear in the memories of many of their nieces and nephews, including me. This view was taken from a bridge over the creek nearby, and the house itself is masked by new-growth forest at upper-right. Sadly, the house is now abandoned and being subsumed back into nature.
