How should we mark the point where a path crosses a shallow stream? That is, the stream is shallow enough (under normal conditions) at crossing point, but not particularly shallow relative to the rest of the stream? If we cannot mark the crossing as a ford, how can we point out that a stream must be crossed, requiring the same cautions as when crossing at a place which is shallow relative to the rest of the stream?
