Seg # 27 - East Clear Creek walk-around?

On the 24th, my son and sister are scheduled to be hiking Segment # 27 Blue Ridge. The route goes across East Clear Creek.

Given the rain this weekend, and just in case the creek is un-cross-able, is there a "walk-around" you can suggest?

Thanks,
Gary

@garyc57 I was in the area yesterday. There will be no issues for them crossing anything up there (I was looking for running water and disappointed in how little was found). Plenty of puddles, mud, and little washes, but nothing that will prevent passage. On top of that, these kinds of events in that area at this time of year will clear in a day or two. In two weeks, it's possible you won't be able to tell that it has rained recently at all! Sadly.
