Tour bus cover page — Tomorrow morning we walk 300 meters down the hill to the pick-up location for our Red Bus Tour.

Over time, a first full day tradition has developed when first-timers visit Glacier with me/us.

The Crown of the Continent, world-famous Red Bus Tour.

Tomorrow’s photos & videos will capture why.

25-second video: OMGOSH! Looking West at the Eastern GNP border.

6-second video: Browning, Montana Post Office were unable to deliver two boxes Cheryl sent from Orlando. i invested half a day to retrieve them. Damaged box seems to be ok. Cheryl will know for sure soon.

Wildflower — A perfect sign from the Universe.

Be intentional, focused, disciplined, and, flexible.

The key to flexibility is having ample margin on your calendar.

When something doesn’t go as planned, plenty of white space on your calendar can be used to figure things out that you didn’t see coming.

15-second video: Today’s HQ.

Mountains — No matter how you slice it, there are no ’bad’ views.

Disney figurines on the table — This ’surprise’ never gets old.

It takes an incredible focus and discipline in Glacier to be a prolific blogger.

So far, with incredibly limited wifi, have been able to meet the goal of putting everything into WordPress while visiting and working in GNP.

The motivation?

To free up the first two weeks back home from ‘all day’ catch up migrating 22 days worth of 5-a-day blogs from iPhone Notes App to WordPress.

It is tedious and time consuming.

It is also a joy and a privilege.

Note: Overwhelmingly intrigued by the prospect of being free from ‘catch-up’ work – and the weight you carry until it’s done.

9-second video: The Goat closest snuck up behind me. Had i not heard a faint stone-rustling sound, the Goat may have sniffed my shirt (they love the salt from human sweat).

Six hours door to door. Four hours on top.

Organized to have Bear Spray on every hike.

Organized to practice spraying it the last day of every Summer. Cannisters spray for about eight seconds. They say it’s 50 times stronger than Mace Pepper Spray.

Thought for a few moments it would be necessary to shoot a half-second spray bewteen me and the larger Goat.

Knowing what a half-second of spray looks like is a huge advantage in projecting confidence (read, no fear) to the animal.

My (humans) lack of fear casts doubt (and probably a healthy fear) about the Goat’s wilderness advantage.

11-second video: For context, they are heading up while i am heading down.

15-second video: Playful. We spent 15 minutes together before it felt safe to pass.

23-second video: Farewell my friends. Until we meet again.

Apple Watch on a persons rest in the mountains — About 5.5 hours from start to finish. Three hours on top.

Organize yourself to solve for known dissatisfiers: strong ultra-violet light, and prolific flying insects.

Thank goodness for suntan lotion and bug spray.
