Here's my late contribution to the discussion...

What does this say about the riders (and who did what?):

TWO riders took their shoes and socks off and waded across the creek-of-very-slippery-bottom

i think TWO riders attempted to ride across and made it no more that a few feet

and i think TWO riders walked across with shoes on and survived with wet feet for the remainder of the ride

BTW, it was an awesome way to close out what will become known as "Yellow's Kalifornia Years".
