Some bikers coming off the raft after crossing Nine Mile Creek. The barge in the background is going to a grain elevator on the river. | Large: 191K / 1024 x 768 | Small: 39K / 512 x 384 |

|
Back in June, heavy rains caused a washout on the trail, about 1/4 mile east of Lyndale Avenue. | Large: 129K / 768 x 1024 | Small: 26K / 384 x 512 |

This was a substantially big washout, too. A big tree fell down and everything. | Large: 146K / 1024 x 768 | Small: 26K / 512 x 384 |
|
It's not exactly the kind of obstacle you can bunny hop. | Large: 129K / 768 x 1024 | Small: 26K / 384 x 512 |
