The greatest gift you can give the youth and young adults in your life is your physically vibrant lifestyle.

Give them hope, not defeat.

High for 4 nights

Hotel monthly calendar availability
Screen shot last night. Staying 8/29-9/1 and 9/3-4. Gifted my 9/10-11 reservation to a local hospitality professional.

As i stared at Heaven’s Peak from the driver’s seat, an 80-90 year old man hobbled past my parked rental car at dawn. He seemed out of place. Thought some good thoughts about him and refocused on the glorious morning unfolding.

An hour after sunrise, i hit the trailhead. The four-mile trek with 2,400’ elevation gain is strenuous. 

About and hour later (roughly 26-minutes per mile), astonishingly, there was that old man. Walking slow as molasses. Wearing a mask too. He inspired me but all i said was, “Good morning.”  

Almost stopped and said, “You inspire me sir.”

Maybe that old man will be me someday. i would welcome any encouragement.

When you are fit, free, and peaceful, be a light for others.

Can’t be true

Divide 9,000 by 50 days.

Thank goodness sitting all day on our back porch can be supplemented with walking and biking. The ability and desire to move are glorious blessings.

Travel humbly

shopping village
Apgar Village closes today, except for Montana House (far left) which is open year round.
  • Thought an 11:00 AM return was logical. A 3:00 PM flight means i’ve got time to kill.
  • Spent a few hours outside. Covid-19 and all. Plus sunshine, Mountain air, and clear, blue skies.
Glacier National Park, October 4, 2020.

Travel with intentional simplicity and planning and you may travel humbly. You desire nothing, because you have planned for it.
