GNP Day 33, home

We’ve been here many times. Nice to be back.
a couple hiking in the mountains
The “Ritz Carlton” sits at 6,600′. We hiked four miles uphill to get here. Now, we are hiking another five miles roundtrip up to the fire tower. This is insane on Cheryl’s first day, coming from sea-level.

Pixar characters mark the year. The Chalet at the end marks our location.

One of only a few remaining Glaciers left in the Park.

On her first day coming from sea-level, Cheryl walked uphill 6.5 miles with 4,000′ elevation gain. Then she walked downhill 2.5 miles and 1,600′ elevation loss.

Few people, at any age, can handle this at altitude.

Ps. Downhill for some people is harder than uphill. Trust me, i’ve surveyed many hikers.

Car tire and key fob
Switched car rental companies yesterday. Both offered four week rental. The tires on first rental are unsafe by my standards. September brings snow. Many roads are 70 mph or curvy mountain roads.

The goodness from being focused and disciplined at home (with your prioritized priorities) will overwhelm you if you trust it.

Two guys in the mountains
Blooper. Why? We are at Wild Goose Island but stood in it’s way. Even on the way to the airport we stopped. It’s a tradition to stop every time.

The goodness from being vibrantly organized will overwhelm you if you trust it.

18-second video: Jody’s buddies saying farewell and hurry back. However, the third Ram insisted we let them be. So we did.

Only on this side for a week or so. West side road repairs limit Park accessibility. No limits. Please.

You want home vibrancy?

Welcome disorganization.

Disorganization is the iron that sharpens organization’s iron.
