I had one moment of drama tonight when I approached a gathering on the local MUP and a young girl (8-10yr. old) decided she wanted to be on the other side of the path right as I was nearing her. I had to jump on the binders hard and thankfully she made it across before I got to her. I had announced my presence about 40 yards out and reduced speed but she and an adult were just oblivious to my approach.
I have also had close encounters with folks on the MUP playing with their cellphones while walking and not responding when I call out my presence.
