Vashon Island Bicycle in a Tree
I do not know the history of this small bicycle lodged inside a fir tree on Vashon Island, Washington. Apparently the original front wheel and handlebars were vandalized and replaced within the last decade. Unless you know how to find it, you won't know how to find it since it isn't graced with any signage. It's about 7 feet from the ground.
Vashon Island was the home of Presidential candidate Gene Amondson, who ran as the standard bearer of the Prohibition Party in 2004 and 2008. The Island was also home (and burial place) to Prohibition Party candidate for Governor (1896 and 1900) Robert Edmund Dunlap (1850-1938).
Update: be sure to check out the Mystery Solved post.

Superb! I've seen trees grow around stuff before, but this takes the cake!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty much in awe when I saw that tree, but not frightened. It's bark is worse than it's bike.
