Canal Creek to Bridge Creek

24km. Lots of water crossings today. After cooking breakfast early at Canal Creek, the generators started up. I cannot understand with dirt cheap solar panels why people need generators. I crossed canal creek pretty easily and headed to Sam Creek, which was another easy crossing. I keep meeting the same groups of campers time and again because I am almost travelling at their speed. Next was Mistake Creek which was trickier and required me unloading some of the panniers. Also I have to reoil the chain because the water crossings wash the oil out of the chain.Next was the log bridge at Cannibal Creek. No way I would drive my 4wd over a bunch of wonky logs. Then it was 6km of rough and sandy track . Then I was told by a 4wd that past that I would have to swim the next creek, Logans, because it was so deep. However when I got there I could find a route at the other end of the crossing that barely got my feet wet. Then I arrived at my destination Bridge Creek. It was deep, and I saw a couple of 4wds drown, and have to be dragged out. However someone told me about a narrow log bridge, and I got the bike acroos that. After setting up camp I sat in the waterhole at the creek with other campers and talked.
