  • Karma.
  • Heading away from the Pass and hopefully warmer and clearer skies.
  • Look at that stunning sunshine. Little bit of blue sky too.
  • Wild Goose Island beach. It was fun and exciting to show Djuan what i never knew about until a few days ago.
  • Plenty of time to spend here since we cancelled the Mt Oberlin summit. Catch the Hidden Mickey?
  • Twin sons of different mothers. A sun-bleached, washed up log makes a great pillow.
  • Nap time.
  • Ahkil is thoroughly enjoying a change in scenery.
  • Pirates of the Caribbean?
  • Rocky mountain “sand” looks like this.
  • Iconic Wild Goose Island.

i suspect the hard work to get and stay healthy is more joyful and rewarding then the hard work to fight one or more poor-health medical conditions (and medication’s side effects and cost).

Accidents happen

You can excel at healthy habits yet have an accident or disease you never saw coming.
  • Generally, a healthy body will respond to emergencies better than an unhealthy body.
  • A healthy body is generally last to be impacted and first to recover. Just like a healthy business during an unforeseen recession.
  • Change what you see and what you see changes.
  • Wild Goose Island has been a rare treat this year – Glacier’s Eastside is closed, since March.

Health begets health. Neglect begets neglect.

It’ll never happen to me

Iconic Lake McDonald.
Two miles from the Park’s West entrance. Not trying to be morbid, and as a former lifeguard, no one plans on drowning.

Each severe crisis you face reveals your overall life preparedness. Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes.

Got Great Cleft

three hikers near mountain summit
Steve and Stacy’s fourth time. My first.
  • Clements Mountain, center. Bearhat Mountain, left. Mt Oberlin, foreground right. Mt Cannon, top right.
  • Hidden Lake Trail, center.
  • Looking South East towards Two Medicine and East Glacier.
  • How is it possible that it’s taken 47 years to get here?
  • Remarkable view of Logan Pass.
  • We are 200′ from summiting Pollock.
  • Zooming in a bit on Logan Pass.
  • The Great Cleft.
Mount Pollock summit with the Wahlberg’s.
rock climbing
So focused on navigating roughly seven stories of challenging climbing that the only Great Cleft photos are on the descent.
To say footwork and hand placement is exceptionally important would be a fair warning to over-focus on every move.

Much of what we fear is completely unfounded. Question your fears. Learn, do, teach (pay it forward).

Physically solid

Glacier’s mountain rocks were once sea bottom.

None of us can predict our future. All of us can decide to never physically give up.
