As most of you may know, I’ve been planting memorial stickers most places I go. I’m doing this for a couple of reasons; one, a cartharsis for me, much like bringing flowers to a grave, but also to raise awareness or at least peak enough interest in this story to maybe get some help for our kids.
Generally I plant them where
- I ride
- A place notable geographically or
- well traveled and
- where there are other stickers or
- where it seems tasteful. I know this last one is iffy, which explains my gaps.
I didn’t plant one in the Painted Hills, or Camano, because at the time I think I was just too pensive. I’m not going to let that happen anymore. Here’s a map though of where I have planted them.
In Maui, I left one in the parking lot of Makaluapuna Point, a beautiful and sacred place. It’s #5 in the first image.
I’ve left several in the King County area. One at KEXP, one on 520, where I ride so often these days, and one at a very nice park in Kenmore which you don’t see all that often. It’s overshadowed by 192 Brewing Company, but TL’ awh-ah-dees Park is a nice place.
In Oregon, we left a sticker in the parking lot of a little overlook that has a view of the Devil’s Punchbowl to the south. A little sleepy area of seclusion and beauty.
The two in California are in Susanville, one on a bench on the Bizz Johnson Trail, and the other on a river trail in Susanville…the only urban trail there. These were my first plants. I’ll update with new posts as time passes. See if you can guess where all the stickers above are, and maybe go visit. It’s kinda like geocaching right?
