27-second video: Starting a hike at 8:30pm means the hike back is in the dark.

Reveling in the first 2022 Oberlin summit while also reveling in 2022’s first Big Horn Sheep sighting, a unique and surprising moment happened.

Turning around from the Sheep, there’s a group next to me asking if i’d like to join them for a sunset hike.

It’s weirdly wonderful being recognized when you’re away from home. It’s even cooler when the locals invite you into their circle.

5-second video: Spectacular.

Breathtakingly spectacular.

The sheer steepness is awe-inspiring.

The Universe has equipped these creatures with a rare ability.

It’s fun to experiment.

Experiments, succeed or fail, always teach.

And it’s especially fun when the experiment exceeds your expectation for learning.

GNP Day 7, HQ

9-second video: i tell you where to look, but don’t tell you what to see.

Change what you see and what you see changes.

i remember a time when i swore the only way to effectively work from anywhere, especially Glacier, is with a small MacBook.

Couple years ago i changed what i saw – travel with only an iPhone. Yet continue to excel at ‘work from anywhere’.

Traveling without a MacBook is liberating. Writing using iPhone notes App (without wifi or cell signal), freedom.

Pro-tip: always have a backup. Carry two iPhones.

Note: At home, full-time mantra = always have a backup for your backup.

4-second video: A special moment rarely seen.
Man walking in the mountains by a waterfall
Scott, a GNP Shuttle driver, snapped this pic. Pretty sure he thought he’d get one of me falling off the log and going for a swim.

Keep moving forward.

On it.

Happy present moment.
