Three days until Glacier, home

How do we benefit from HQ consistency?

How important is the consistency of our prioritized priorities?

Conversely, what’s at risk if we aren’t consistent?

Four days until Glacier, home

Rainbow — Last night after dinner. Never gets old.

Garmin Inreach Mini 2 set up screen — Best device for hiking backcountry and its technology gives me peace of mind when i’m in the wild. Been using a Garmin inReach MINi since 2019. Upgraded this year to a MINI 2. Activated it yesterday.

This will be our first summer in Glacier with a rented storage space.

We are organized to have everything we need waiting on us.

It’s a new structure and process after all these years.

Brainstorming improvements and implementing one of the ideas is fun.

And just like in our Disney careers, once an idea is implemented you immediately and instinctively begin improving the improvement.

Wheels up in four days.

Above and beyond

Woman at a bar — Pretty civilized for Glacier.

Feeling confident that even though i can’t see or access my reservation, it’s legitimately in the lodging company’s system.

Almost like it was yesterday

Two adults sitting in a home office — Margie and Johnny took the cross-country Amtrak train from Pennsylvania to visit us while we lived on campus at Washington State University. We, unregrettably, didn’t make it to Glacier.

i already know what to expect when i spend ample time in Glacier.

By the way, for context in ‘jeff-land’, one week is not ample time.

Neither is two.

Three weeks then?

Nope.

i can even extrapolate out to one month isn’t considered ample time.

So, going out in July and returning in October…..

Could be decent.

Note: Well aware the 2024 Hurricane forecast is the highest in the history of forecasting. There may be a compelling reason to return home to ride out a big one. This extraordinary hurricane forecast has remote potential to once again cut short the original plans to spend ‘ample’ 2024 time in Glacier. Time will tell. Happy present moment.

Giddy (and) UP

Woman on touring bicycle — Puget Sound. Honeymoon. We’ve been filling our “Adventure Book” even before we got married.

Hoping for the best is an awesome mindset.

Giddy about returning to Glacier in as little as a week.

UP is our favorite Pixar movie.

Adventure is out there.

We know it.

We love doing it.

Grateful for hoping for the best because it led me to hold off on canceling every reservation.

Thank goodness.

Hoping Friday’s eye exam is the green light to (a return to our Summer 2023) Adventure.

Our packed and organized rental van is waiting for our arrival.

Note: We’ve been paying for the van even though no one is driving it.
