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.

13 hikers posing for a group picture in the mountains

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.

St Mary Lodge parking lot. Dinner. Trying to upload photos and videos to iCloud. It worked poorly.

It’s fun to experiment.

Experiments, succeed or fail, always teach.

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

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.
