Still have my first *real* MTB. A 1994 C'dale Delta-V 500 bought new. The only original items left are frame, fork, and crankset. Its mostly used on my neighborhood trails these days. Its a hoot to ride in the gravel pit. The bike has morphed a few times. With taller gears and skinnier tires...

The edge of the creek is mucky. Hence the muck boots. We should be able to get it done w/o going into the water. But if you want to go into the creek. You will need hip waders. Or maybe a dry suit. And take care to step carefully around the deep hole.
