You slog the creek; to call it "hiking" would be, eh...not even wrong. Sand, gravel, and boulders the size of Volkswagens infiltrate your sneakers-watershoes-boots-sandals. Suddenly, your feet weigh 150 lbs. each. You will blister! The blisters will burst and fester and eventually, your feet, first one then the other, will rot and fall off. There is no escape! Never come here! Stay away if you value your limbs! They don't call it the Hell's Half Acre for nothing...
