Since you’ve been born, plan on this

We are replacing McDonald Creek for The Gulf of Mexico this afternoon.

Since you’ve been born, plan on this…

Dying.

Plan on it.

Plan for it.

And do your best to come alive and start living before your time is up.

Tip: Occasionally, say no to a should.

Will saying no to something today matter in 5-10 years?

If yes, don’t say no.

For example, will saying no to regular exercise this month matter in 5-10 years? Yes. So don’t say no to August’s exercise.

PS. Same for September, etc.

Back to back and no soreness

Out for a pre-sunrise walk. The final walk of this first 2019 trip to Glacier National Park.

Back entrance. Our rooms are directly above on the second floor.

Lake McDonald Marina. My room offers the exact same view.

Lake McDonald Lodge coming up the steps from the Marina.

Yesterday morning and this morning i expected sore legs.

Nope.

Two consecutive 30+ mile trips up to the Continental Divide on a bicycle.

Thank you to the Universe.

Move like you mean it

The early, early birds are coming down (yellow shirt) when the early birds are going up.

Move like you mean it.

Wasn’t sure i would be able to bike back-to-back Logan Pass summits.

Haven’t been biking much the past year. Lungs were amazing. Heart worked hard and hovered in the 100-130 range the entire ascent (4.5 hours).

To lower the 130+ pulse rate, i’d walk until it was back to 110. Tried to stay in the 120 zone.

Took lots of photos too.

The frequent stopping was a gift.

One leaves, One stays

On second floor. My room is the lit window and the one on the left.

One last photo before leaving Glacier, from Apgar at the foot of Lake McDonald, a tradition.

He headed home on schedule yesterday, a Saturday.

From the airport, i drove straight to Avalanche Creek parking. Got a miracle “last open parking space” space.

Bird Woman Falls is 500’ tall (492’ exactly). One of the first of Bird Woman’s many spectacular views on the way up.

Heaven’s Peak through the Westside tunnel.

The Netherlands father and his High School Junior daughter (who spent her junior year with a Montana Host Family) offered to take this photo after i offered to take a couple pictures of them.

One leaves, one stays.

Be flexible.

Give and take.

Be intentional.

Over-focus.

We reserved two bikes for three days Tuesday-Thursday. Alas, a road project made biking Going To The Sun Road impossible.

The only hope was to extend my stay through Monday instead of Saturday.

Yesterday’s ride was incredible.

So worth staying.

Looking forward to today’s ride back up on this Father’s Day 2019.

Our son and i are returning in July for several weeks, so i didn’t insist he extend his stay – it was his call.

Only six layers of mosquito repellant required

There are three primitive camp sites at Snyder Lake and roughly 10,000 mosquitoes.

We could not find a shore line to get an unobstructed photo.

Clouds suck energy from photographs. Yet we are grateful for the opportunity for a cloudy sky photo.

Discovered this angle as we were leaving Snyder Lake.

Only six layers of mosquito repellant required.

Had Snyder Lake trail been dry, mosquito-less, and an open lakefront view payoff, the 10 miles would have seemed like a bargain.

Such is life.

No bargain.

But still a great experience because…

We got great exercise and built our hiking confidence.
