Glacier checklists, spirit

Grinnell Glacier overlook
Grinnell Glacier overlook, August 2016. Dave was the first friend who joined me for a week. After three previous family summer visits, this fourth summer, Dave and i hiked Highline Trail for the first time ever, for both of us.

Glacier checklists.

There’s an emotional (spiritual) essence to this (2026) Summer’s visit.

i must balance two things, maybe three:

  1. The loving farewell tour in a place we’ve spent 500 nights.
  2. The obvious implication (assumption) that i need to be a tour guide during the third week. For the record, i dread this responsibility.
  3. Our super special friends arrive after we’ve been there two weeks. We will have our mountain legs and lungs. They will not. Not even close. How do i manage our semi-peak hiking fitness with 100% rookies, day 1?

This blogging stuff is like having a personal trainer, a personal coach, a therapist, physician, etc, etc.

i like LOVE it!
