Bayframe 33 is a static editorial project. It can organize reliable questions and historical context; it cannot become a live extension of a national park or ferry operator. Our method is designed around that limitation.
Lane 1: current operations
Tickets, schedules, prices, boarding procedures, alerts, weather impacts, closures, accessibility services and program availability can change. For those claims, the National Park Service and its authorized concessioner are the primary sources. We link to their current pages rather than copying live data into a page that may go stale.
If an official page and an older Bayframe description conflict, follow the official page and on-site staff. The guide should later be corrected, but a visitor should not wait for that correction to make an operational decision.
Lane 2: durable planning observations
Some relationships remain useful across schedule changes: a timed ferry requires an arrival margin; cold water and wind can make the crossing feel different from downtown; steep grades require more energy than the map suggests; a reseller name does not prove landing authorization. We explain these patterns without pretending they produce one perfect itinerary.
Lane 3: history and interpretation
Historical dates and institutional facts are grounded primarily in National Park Service material and the source routes listed on the Sources page. We distinguish documented evidence from legend, especially in escape stories. We also avoid making the federal prison the only meaningful period.
Indigenous history is treated as living history. The 1969–1971 occupation is identified through the coalition’s name, Indians of All Tribes, and placed within federal termination, relocation and sovereignty contexts. We avoid language that presents Native people only in the past or treats occupation markings as decorative “graffiti.”
Lane 4: individual health and access
Accessibility is not inferred from photographs or a general trail description. We provide current NPS routes and advise early confirmation of the specific functional need. We do not guarantee that a service operates on a date or that a route suits an individual.
Medical questions about motion sickness, exertion, medication or cold exposure belong to qualified healthcare professionals. Emergency instructions belong to ferry crew, park staff and emergency services.
Photography and captions
All editorial images are local files sourced from Wikimedia Commons under public-domain, CC0 or Creative Commons licenses. The Sources page names the work, creator, license and original page. Files are resized, compressed and stripped of embedded metadata. Responsive CSS may crop an image, but captions do not relabel one building, date or operator as another.
Commercial independence
The site has no ticket sales, affiliate links, ads, paid rankings or sponsored placements. External links use direct official URLs without referral parameters. Bayframe 33 does not imply authorization through a similar domain name or visual imitation of an agency or concessioner.
Accessibility and privacy in the site itself
The interface uses semantic headings, alt text, visible keyboard focus, a skip link, internal table scrolling and a mobile menu that closes with Escape. Content remains visible without JavaScript, and reduced-motion preferences disable transition effects. There are no analytics, cookies, accounts, contact forms, remote fonts or embedded maps.
