Itinerary:

We will follow Mulberry Creek through a shaded forest and cross the Creek on stones 18 times. 

If the creek happens to be high, we might even get our feet wet -- which we may want to do anyway to enjoy a cold water treatment for our feet and ankles.

The Creek hike is a "lariet" through the Hyde Farm County Park with the "noose" in Johnson Ferry North.  

After the creek and a river walk, we will make our way through the Hyde Farm which dates to the 1830s 

Terrain:  rugged creek banks and stepping stones; bird area with high grass and overgrowth

Pace:  up to 3.0 mph avg. with 60% up to 3.3-3.7mph
