Jenkins Creek Park on my return bike ride from the Covington Library


5 (4+1) shot manually stitched panorama (exposure varied from 1/640 to 1/200 sec.) using 2000 Olympus Camedia Master 2.5


4 shot stitched panorama mode (exposure 1/320 sec.) using 2009 Olympus Master 2. I still prefer the older manual method...


Vertical effect

Bridge entrance on far side was washed out a few years ago


Some unpaved, some paved


The main park loop


"" is the east side entrance. "X" is the closed west side

Kinda damp for a Sunday morning ride, but not raining


After the rain started a few miles towards Renton, I opted for dryer and did a few upper trail laps


Hiding under the tunnel waiting out the rain that caught up to me. When I returned home 6 miles away the pavement was still dry. Such is life in the northwest

Creek bridge damage cuts off access to the other half.
When I came back on my 9-Aug ride, a BRIDGE CLOSED sign had been added


Little duckies


Still quite scenic on the late July evening


Closeup


Everyone is out for the evening float

Seafair Sunday was a great day for an early morning bike ride. After starting in Maple Vally, I turned around below Regis Park in Renton


Freshly painted trail bypass


Not much water in the Cedar River this time of the year

Gotta love a city that will ticket you for bike speeding (inset emphasis)


Water break on the return - looking up towards Rt.18


Looking back down the trail. Still cool at 8:53am

Ya! Covington City started repair so I can get to the other side


Support structure closeup


Getting close to sunset at 6:20pm. As I understand it this pond is man-made and drains into Jenkins Creek


Duckies are out for their evening stroll


Back again on Oct. 4 - able to get to the other side of the park. Adjacent neighbor seems to have llamas


Llama #2. Days are getting shorter, shadows longer. 5:19pm


the trails apparently get mowed


Bridge walkway is done. Railings are still missing. The "Caution" tape didn't deter me


Viewing deck


Back again on Oct. 12, after the Seahawks lost to the Cowboys at home. Looks almost complete. Caution tape gone, but not sure if the rest of the railings will be needed
