We gathered yesterday at a park adjacent to the Chambers Bay Golf Club. Chambers Creek Regional Park includes 930 acres along the shore of south Puget Sound.
I decided to use a long page to create a montage.
I walked across the bridge that spans the rail tracks to provide access to the beach. On it were many "love locks". I sketched these as an inset.
Two sketchers had pointed out the osprey nest on top of a large structure.
Next was other structures. These are all left from the gravel mining operations. "Pacific Bridge was one of the two fledgling gravel mines operating on the site where the Chambers Bay golf course now lies. Subsequent owners over the next century enjoyed the rich gravel deposits found there. By 1992, Lone Star Northwest had merged all the gravel mining into the single largest producer of sand and gravel in the nation. Large scale mining continued until December 2003 when commercial mining ended and reclamation of the Chambers Creek properties began."
