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.

National Park Rustic
Day 359: They call the architectural style "National Park Rustic," although this was the first time I'd seen it applied to a bicycle rack. The last time I'd hiked up to Round Pass, a standard bent-pipe frame had been standing in this spot, provided for those wheeling stalwarts who wanted to take on the challenge of the rocky road. I'm not a strong cyclist, so I'd never taken my bike, figuring that I'd have to push it almost all the way just so I could ride slowly down. No, it's boot leather for me, not tires, not even with the improvements they've made to the closed portion of Westside Road. That said, a lot of work went into the creation of this National Park Rustic rack, achieving the style's goal of keeping Park architecture as visually non-intrusive as possible.
