[Philmont]: Stream crossings

To the Philmont vets once again.... (there will be more) :-)

A couple of you mentioned a trek that involved several stream crossings.
Two mentioned crossing the stream(s) 50 to 75 times. Assuming those numbers
are slightly exaggerated, there are still probably quite a few crossings to
deal with on that trek.

Besides the obvious method of trudging straight through, what precautions or
techniques did you have to use in order to cross these streams? Were they
ankle deep? Knee deep? Waist deep?

Thanks in advance....
