GNP Day 28, physically

Mountains
Another sit and soak in the same ice-cold creek pool from two days ago. We are less than two miles into an eight-miler. Our feet don’t hurt. We feel the opportunity should be seized as we pass it.
20-second video: Let Jody go first and i stayed behind so we could both experience descending Swiftcurrent Pass Trail by ourselves.
Two men at hiking trail sign
Same guys. Same trail. Two days later.

If you think the price for physical vibrancy is high, wait until you get the bill for regret.

Odds favor a generational legacy. Be careful.
