Train Trestle Terrain

An old train trestle has been inviting me to visit for several years. Last weekend I was by myself; the weather was exceedingly beautiful; and before I realized I had decided to stop, I was out of the car and walking.

The Cedar River Trail is a little over 17 miles long and passes through the towns of Renton, Maplewood, Cedar Mountain, Maple Valley, and Rock Creek where another trail kicks in and continues on into some valley. I was in the Maple Valley area. 

"Dog Pot" or not, I don't stray off paths and onto grassy areas for fear of stepping into a Calling Card left by someone's pet. I did not meet one dog, but couldn't help wondering if people pick up after all their pets. 

These equestrians has just moved their mounts off the trail -- another and perhaps bigger reason to never wander onto grassy areas. I wondered if the lady wanted to sit in the shade for a little while, or if this was a "Horse Pot" area.
