9/13 Middle Fork Trail

Rolled out the road to the middle fork, thinking the new paved road would be well on it's way to being finished.   Nope - two more years.   They were planning on paving the parking lot this week and the very end of the road.  Major project, they are doing quite a bit of widening.  We were stopped on the road, about where the new section of the CCC trail starts.  This added 3 miles of trail to reach the Middle Fork traihead, although a very nice 3 miles of trail.  At the Middle fork trail we opted to take road upriver for 5 miles then we dropped down to the river and across a nice bridge.  I think it was 6 miles down river on the middle fork, then back out the ccc trail for a 20 mile ride.
