Stromatolites were the first life form on Earth 3.8 billion years ago on the ocean floor.

Stromatolites were on the ocean floor. Hard to comprehend.

Yes, we are small in the big picture.

Grinnell Glacier Hike
Hung my iPhone out the side and snapped this.

 

The icebergs were small, but they were still icebergs. In a lake no less, not an ocean. Over a mile above sea level.

The couple that almost walked into the Grizzly sat next to us on the boat shuttle back to the hotel.

They were so shaken, they turned around and canceled their hike.

Even without the stunning views it was beautiful

Logan Pass
Howard’s head blocked the whole point of this photo. And smoke blocked the rich mountain details.

 

Logan Pass
i thought it was funny when i saw i messed up the previous photo,

Late Summer and the seeds are prolific.

 

Logan Pass
Visitor Center quickly begins to fade away as we hike 1.5 miles up.

 

Logan Pass
A rare moment of sunshine.

 

Logan Pass
Have never witnessed smoke at Logan Pass. Going to the Sun Mountain is almost invisible.

 

Logan Pass
Hidden Lake Trail overlook. Try to visit without taking some photos. Dare ya.

 

Logan Pass
Eventually, we put our cameras back in our pockets.

 

Logan Pass
Descent.

 

Logan Pass
By 8:00 AM in the Summer, it’s full.

 

After dinner, we drove 20 minutes back up to Logan Pass for a three-mile (500′ elevation gain) warm-up hike.

The stunning views were nowhere to be found. i didn’t belabor it. Howard understood and i was grateful for that.

Being the only humans at the overlook, it was remarkably creepy.

Quiet, wild, and potentially vulnerable are understatements.

Driving the speed limit may save your life

Traffic accident
Ride my bike past here three times every week.

 

car accident
No telling what time this happened. Praying no one was hurt.

 

car accident
Reminded by this morning’s near miss on the drive to the airport how things can change in an instant.

 

Driving the speed limit may save your life.

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.

Wisdom Day began March 6, 2017.

That was yesterday. Last night to be exact.

Made sure to create a calendar event entitled “Wisdom Day for Chapin”.

Last night’s conversation was significant. Chapin was on point, articulate, and grounded.

He also surprised me by saying, “The photos and written descriptions don’t align with who you are.”

Everything he said made sense and was spot on.

i told him to remember this day.

This is the day your wisdom begins for you.

PS. i posted all those photos (above) on facebook yesterday. That alone was not bad, what was misaligned was my motivation for posting them. It leaned to the side of sarcastic humor.

i removed all the photos and updates.

It was the right thing to do, even if Chapin was the only one who probably noticed.

Be careful the story you tell yourself

Quiet leadership
Photo: Text from head coach. In one month he went from being last to shaving 7 minutes off his 5k time. See the date, September 15? Yesterday’s 5k was October 15, 2016.

 

Be careful the story you tell yourself.
