North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

At less than a quarter mile in there is a very muddy mess at Deming Creek ford. Something let go upstream since there was a muddy slurry 100 feet wide. I trudged through the mess a few hundred feet upstream and found a reasonably safe crossing but decided against it as it was still early and a warm day, and things just seemed to be really unstable. It is probably best to avoid this one for a few weeks.
