Middle Prong

This was a very pleasant walk up the Middle Prong trail even with a possibility of rain all around the region. However no rain occurred in this immediate area as I walked about 3mls along this often busy route. The possibility of rain must have kept folks away I guess because when I reached the trailhead parking it was empty! Yes!!! I said, and gave thanks for the lack of human noise and distractions. As I returned and neared the parking area I passed some folks on the bridge smoking and taking pictures. I encouraged them to walk some for more pictures when I noticed there van was pulled as close to the bridge as it could be without completely blocking the path. Peace
