Fun and easy recognition.

Dropped off at office.

Met Megan, Barbara, and Carly.

Carly was at West Glacier RV Park front desk last season. A surprising and delightful reunion.

Cheryl and i had a nice 10-minute visit.

Note: Relationships with context and value are developed over time. No goodness falls from the sky. Goodness is reaped from sowing thoughtful and unnecessary seeds/deeds.

A 160-minute descent. We never hurried. 
Couple standing in front of Trail head sign
Five days. Four nights. Ready for a shower. And wifi. And heat.

Living without basic conveniences illuminates opportunity to learn.

Illumination is rare, invisible to most.

Illumination is transformational when behavior is positively changed.

GNP Day 38, spiritually

16-second video: Made it to Lake Ellen Wilson’s far end. The west base of Gunsight Pass. Enjoyed an hour eating lunch doing nothing.
14-second video: Hidden Mickey.

Last year we made it to the Campground, but cancelled going to the Falls due to a nearby Grizzly Bear.

Today, the goal was the Pass. We consider the Falls a success. Gunsight Pass is for another year.

GNP Day 36, spiritually

Couple in mountains
Mt Jackson behind us. One of the six 10,000-footers in GNP. To see it from this angle at this time of day is exceptional.
Mountain goat
Deep in the wilderness, not a roadside drive by.
Trees reflecting in pond
What the heck is that? A small pond surrounded by trees and filled with tree reflections.
Trees reflected in a pond
Red tent upper left. Pond next to four-site back country campground.

Five minutes after the campground pond photos we stepped onto the Hotel front porch. 

Four people commiserating in the warm alpine, late afternoon sun. Improv’d the following…

me: pulling a pen out of my pocket said, do you have a piece of paper?

Them: we have a notepad inside…

me: i need to write you a ticket…

me: For having too much peace and joy in this moment.

Them: Huge smiles…laughed in appreciation.

Assorted small talk to conclude the interaction/interruption.

After walking away five steps, i turned around and asked…

me: What are you celebrating…

Them: Today. Friendship.

me thinking to myself: How flipping perfect is that?

me: Those are my top two, too.
