A Hungry Horse (town) icon next to Highway 2 (“Main Street’). Everyone going to Glacier passes this.

Notice the red horse on the left?

This mostly unreadable plaque can be explained here.

My first Glacier visit was in 1973.

Cheryl’s first visit was with me in 1982.

Chapin’s first visit was in 2013.

Never made the connection to Glacier’s waterways until i went inside.

Coram, Montana. If you know, you know. Hint (if you don’t know): Don’t blink.
mountain town bar sign
This bar and cafe is on Coram’s ‘outskirts’.
lumberjack saw blades
Paul Bunyan was a lumberjack. The bar is filled with history of Glacier and Hungry Horse Dam.
chain saws on display in a mountain bar
Got chainsaw?
fancy old fashioned mountain bar
Quite elaborate for a mountain town.
Paul Bunyan bar and grill entrance
That is one giant saw blade. Note: Also the first time inside here in my 51 years of visits.

Be generous with your joy.

Ps. The joy you reap from knowing your priorities in priority order. It became a game changer when i finally committed to making it a daily habit.

A few miles from Agpar Lookout. Lake McDonald from a mostly unknown angle. Super easy to get here if you know about it.

Glacier Day 401, home

8-second video: West Glacier Post Office. Yesterday.

Simple prioritization is operational genius.

Note: How did i ever accumulate 400 days in Glacier National Park? And, how about those Mountain Ash berries!

Glacier Day 400, home

mountain trail
Hiking is the name of the game.

No one in Florida visits the same Big-Sky National Park 400 times.

Seriously.

Overkill?

Lucky?

Obnoxious?

Special?

All of the above?
