Day 5 East Glacier, spirit

14-second video: After the Scenic Point hike (yesterday), drove (only) 400 meters to spend a few hours at the Two Medicine Camp Store.

Not a thin place, but it does contain ‘thin-place DNA’.

Day 4 East Glacier, spirit

Hotel room welcome gift set up
Awesome surprise. Arrived 8:30pm last night.

Historically, i choose Mount Oberlin as the first hike of the new season.

That said, the hour-forty-ish minutes to get to Logan Pass parking by 6:00am means a departure by 4:20am.

On almost any day, this would be doable, but considering yesterday‘s travel day and the late arrival, and minimal sleep, it was a hard pass.

Day 3 East Glacier, spirit

hurricane forecasted path screenshot
Hurricane Ian was the worst 2022 USA hurricane. Third costliest ever weather event worldwide. Category 5 before its September 28 landfall in Southwest Florida.

Praying for no hurricanes scary enough to make me/us want to return to Walt Disney World to manage the house during the storm.

Ian was so scary to watch its path.

Was about 66% committed to returning home but inadvertently missed the window to fly home.

Our neighbor cleared our pool patio and secured a few other things in preparation.

Ultimately we survived without incident but i was far more anxious about this storm than normal.

Day 2 East Glacier, spirit

Screenshot of an email
Super early in the day (10am MT) to get a world-class response to a potentially devastating alternative. Rental car is set.
47-second video: Today has been an exceptionally great day.

Not gonna lie, it’s been a challenge the last 48 hours to remain calm. The good news is i prepare well for challenges and use my lifetime of Disney creativity for the absolute best outcomes from what appear to be dead ends.

As people often say, “God is good”.

July 20 Wheels up to Glacier Day 1, spirit

The snow pack is steadily melting. The smaller it is when i arrive, the easier the first hike (summit) will be.
The likely route is between the snowpack bottom and the cliff below it.

Does praying work?

Depends on your conviction, and a host of other factors.

Note: Prayers are always answered. Humans forget that you can’t always get what you want, but as Mick Jagger reminds us, we can get what we need…a growth-mindset is key to seeing the silver lining in every situation.
