Wow, Eric that looks like a cool adventure. How did you get over that tree on Day 1?

When it comes to water crossings, do you or riders in general put electronic gear in a water-proof bag? I came across a river crossing a couple weeks ago but was afraid to cross it and go down with my iPhone on the bike.

 

Went around the tree in the woods. Yes i put things i dont want to get wet in ziploc bags.
