365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Only The Brightest And Best
Day 5: Mount Rainier's volunteers are the brightest and best...well, definitely the brightest! This scruffy lot turned out for today's litter patrol along SR706 despite showery weather, collecting a total of 16 bags of trash from a two-mile stretch of roadway, plus a large pile of sodden carpet padding and a few other bulky objects. It's not a glamorous job, but we like to think that visitors appreciate what they don't see on their way to the Mountain as well as what they do see when they get there. If you missed us this time, look for us again in April. Give a wave or honk as you drive by those folks in the bright orange ANSI-approved safety vests who are working hard to keep the road to Mount Rainier beautiful.
