Chronic health

After jumping in. The temp is cool but not cold, by my standards.

Imagine chronic health conditions as positive, not negative. Chronic strength. Chronic rest. When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Can’t be true

Sounds inflated until you break it down.

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.

  • Heavy Runner highest point on right. Heading down the East side of Logan Pass.
  • Love the Logan Pass Valley as it winds to St Mary Lake.
  • St Mary Lake and Valley are around the left corner.
  • Glacier’s signature Clements Mountain.
  • Logan Pass snowmelt hits the valley floor here as it flows to St Mary Lake.
  • Someday, maybe, i will climb down there. But not alone, right?
  • Twins from this angle. From other angles, not in a million years.
  • Clements on left. Oberlin on right.
  • Time stamping 2020 visit.

Failure or opportunity?

mountainside
At this point, intent on summiting Pollock and heading over to Bishops Cap is 100% doable. The right rock wall is approximately 30′ tall. Doesn’t look anywhere near that tall but it is.
  • Enough snow has melted that snow is a non-issue.
  • This chute is so steep, and so long. As if there is no end in sight.
  • Making the way over to Pollock and The Great Cleft.
  • Looking good so far.
  • Without warning, way finding becomes difficult…and, impossible.
  • The weather is warm yet windy. At 3:00 PM, i should be going through The Great Cleft now.
  • Only 350′ to summit.
  • This is what 8,900′ views look like.
  • My buddy, Oberlin, right-middle mountain at 8,200;. Mt Cannon top right., Clements, left.
  • Sat here and contemplated plan B’s. Perhaps hike over to the right edge. Analyzing the distance, steepness, and rock structure, and being alone, it was an easy, “Nope”.
Glacier National Park, October 2, 2020.

When you change what you see, what you see changes. For example, do you have a failure or an opportunity?
