Morty Comix # 2540

Morty Comix # 2540 was left at the base of the Bike in the Tree on Vashon Island, Washington.

It looks pretty much the same as it did when I visited the place almost 2 years ago, although a neighboring building that was propped up with 2 x 4s is now gone. And now that I think about it the handlebars are missing from the bike since then as well. 

I realize this post will attract two kinds of visitors, so:

Graves of Rev. Robert Edmund Dunlap (1850-1938) and Nellie R. Dunlap (1851-1940), Vashon Island, Washington.

Rev. Dunlap was active in the Prohibition Party and ran for Washington State Governor under that banner in the elections of 1896 and 1900. He also ran as the Prohibition Party candidate for Governor of Arizona in 1916.

Vashon Island was also the home of Prohibition Party presidential candidate Gene Amondson (1943-2009) who ran in 2004 and 2008. I interviewed Gene in 2007.
