Final-final video

15-sec video

This 15-second video is the last one before “forcing” myself to stay in the car until i get to the Motel – still a 40 minute drive without stops.

But rather than focus on the mountains and valley, was struck by the breeze gently shaking the brilliant-yellow leaves directly below me.

Second favorite teacher

Short video: Second favorite teacher? Reading. Or maybe, writing.

My second favorite teacher is reading?

Or maybe, reading used to be the second favorite.

Perhaps all these years later, writing is the second favorite teacher.

Second or third, either way, reading and writing are on the medal-podium.

272 Glacier Days

Short video…

Iconic Lake McDonald. Iconic Bead Jar and Jack the Bear.

bead jar and teddy bear — On Lake McDonald, but from The Boat House, not Apgar Village.

A dramatic leap in experience courtesy of last year’s (2021) 62 days, pushing the total to 272 days-worth of Glacier experience.

Some new, leveling up hikes last year:

Ahern Peak
Piegan Pass area
Mt Siyeh scouting hikes
Sperry Chalet extended stay exploration
North Fork exploration, including Huckleberry Fire Tower and Bowman Lake

Note: Wrote this post before 2022 Summer season. Add 61 days from 2022 for 333 lifetime days.

i know the way

A second look at the irrefutable boundary of two massively different Earthly phenomenon.

i know the way.

As part of my premiere duty to propagate the species (like the daises), the two foundational duties include:

Protect the young
Teach the young

Then get out of the way as you fade and they bloom.

Teach your young how to teach their young.

Show them the way.

In the wild

Book on Bear attacks — It is the unexpected, close encounters that have the greatest odds for an attack. In Glacier, almost everywhere is an opportunity for an unexpected, close encounter.

In the wild, there is no time to fight battles that don’t help you survive, reproduce, and raise your young.

Anything not focused on those three is likely to take you down.

Animal instinct knows this.

Survival of the fittest.

Revenge is such a human-condition.

Not saying there are not exceptions in the wild. Just saying the wilderness is called the wild for a reason. Food chain and all that.
