GNP Day 30, physically

UPS box
Box 1 of 2. No one knows where the second box is. This is a good exercise in surrender. Three days (Sat, Sun, Mon) to wait until the Post Office opens Tuesday.

The goodness from being outside and active will overwhelm you if you trust it.

GNP Day 29, physically

19-second video: One last look at an Historic Cabin with two double beds. Has a sink but no bathroom.
Mountains and a lake
One last look back at Many Glacier Valley and Swiftcurent Valley. We are heading to airport for Jody’s 6:00 PM flight. This leaves 7.5 hours to get him to the airport with a 90-minutes buffer.

You want physical vibrancy?

Welcome excuses.

Excuses are the iron that sharpens discipline’s iron.

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.

12-second video: Never hike alone. Unless you are well prepared.
High Mountain chalet
We expect to see close to zero people on our 12-hour hike today.
14-second video: That shadow.

me: Bill, you look fit, what do you do?

Bill: I just live.

Me: (just open-mouth smiling big)…

Bill: I like to be active. I like being outside. I like to eat right.

GNP Day 26, physically

16-second video: Bull Moose never moved from this spot. We waited 10 minutes.
22-second video: Context for time, place, company, and goal.
Mountains and a lake
What’s the saying: ”The photo doesn’t do it justice.”
Light-year toy figurine in mountains
To infinity and beyond. To slay my five-decade fear, and beyond.
Mountain valley with Lakes
Looking back to where we started.
29-second video: Brief overview of my impending battle with fear of heights.

Running on six hours sleep.

Hike eight miles, 2,300’ elevation gain. Eight hours on trail.

Two cold water feet/leg soaks.

Saw 15 people on the trail. Knew four of them.
