i take pics like this simply to imprint travel times, effort, and days of acclimation. This is day four. My calves are taxed from 3,400’ elevation loss.

This is the face of peace and contentment. Hiking down from Sperry.

i’ve become a trail snob. Please don’t judge.

Sperry Day 3, body

Lunch 1130am-ish. Heading to Gunsight Mountain’s summit at 9,200’.

Lunch elevation, 8,100’.
Turn-around spot, 8600’…
iPhone compass
Stopped at 8600’. Felt like i could make it the ridge and then the summit but didn’t think i could move after that. Still had to wayfind and scramble down 1,100’. And then the leisurely final three miles and 1400’ loss. Safety first.

Make your favorite places places you live year round or seasonally.

Numbers always tell your story

dad

Reflecting on how i started tracking numbers for Glacier visits and Mt Oberlin summits, it led to thinking about how numbers add up over time and how certain numbers tell our life’s story.

Blood pressure.

Cholesterol.

Triglycerides. 

Heart beats per minute.

Hours of nightly sleep.

Minutes of movement per day/week.

Bloodwork results.

Etc.

‘It’s great to be back’ is a mantra worth having. Feels like i never left. Glacier feels kinda like home.

Coin’s backside. There was an East and a West Jamboree. The East was in my home state, so you can guess where i wanted to go.

Enjoy, cherish, and protect your childlike wonder.
