Mountain lake
Lower Grinnell Lake.
Tree shadows on aqua colored Lake
Shadows are everywhere, mostly ‘invisible’. PS. Yes, the water looks just like this in real life.
Mountain lake
Longest long shot of the day. We are descending to trailhead.

Turns out we hiked 15 miles. This was the ”ice your feet and legs” therapy we needed. It works “pretty good”.
Quote Written on a whiteboard
Random front desk message. We didn’t seek a summit. But we have in the past. Quote is a bullseye. The Bells are the Many Glacier Hotel Bell Hops.
Crescent moon next to Mountain
Swiftcurrent Fire Tower sits on it’s name sake mountain.

Blessed beyond measure to be given the opportunity to choose to prioritize my priorities.

And to be able to do it all the time, anywhere.

Is it shameful to neglect your best choices?

Is it glorious to prioritize your priorities?

Hell yeah.

15 years (reprise)

15-second video: Sitting lakeside. Quietly (making no noise). Alone. Until a Mountain Goat arrives for a drink. This lake sits at 6,000′ elevation.

This will not be the 15-year blogging commencement final mention.

Why?

Because it’s mid-Summer 2022.

Writer’s flood produced an insane blog post surplus.

It’s always five daily, differently-themed blog posts. And sometimes, the five-a-day post writing turns into 10, 20, and occasionally 50 (10 days worth) posts in a single day.

The higher you climb

14-second video: Summiting Pollock Mountain. Too windy to stand. Too cold to stay. On top less than five minutes.

The higher you climb, the less that you know.

To be on the ground yet soaring above the rest of the world – surreal.

You see and feel and think differently than you ever have before.

This new knowledge enlightens. You pick the enlightenment insights.
