Just a photo, spirit

My Maternal Grandmother’s live-in boyfriend. Never knew my ‘real’ grandfather. But Russ was a cool dude to us. Ps. Note the cigarette in his other hand.

Confidence is helpful

15-second video: Time to start our first retreat. All good. No threat. Yet absolutely proactive.

i only want to be as cocky as telling the devil to go take a long walk off a short pier.

Note: AKA “hey devil, go screw yourself”.

Grizzly Bear context getting clearer

20-second video: “Junior” is perched high above the trail. Another big Grizzly is heading to the trail.

We watch, patiently, enthralled with anticipation.

If the Bears make a right onto the trail (which is the direction we are heading), we’ll respectfully follow at their pace. With no desire to get closer.

If like the first bear, they all cross the trail and continue straight up Gunsight Mountain, cool.

If they hang a left toward us, we have a couple options.

Random 2025 Glacier video, spirit

29-second video: Remember how far away the Grizzly is from us? And, we were not looking for bears. Unreal that my eye fixated on a small, literally stationary ‘boulder’ in a tiny pond a couple hundred meters away.

There are only six peaks above 10,000′ in Glacier. One of them, Mount Jackson, is across from us. Our trail is around 7,000′. We are the only people on the trail. We are so deep in that we expect to see from zero to 10 people all day.

Note: Attention Deficit Disorder…Not for us. Not this day.

Back to Glacier, spirit

couple by mountain creek
McDonald Creek hike. One day before the 30-mile roundtrip bicycle trek, with 3,400′ elevation gain.
woman by mountain creek
Going-to-the-Sun Road is to the right of the creek, out of sight behind the trees. This sunny and decently warm mid-May day didn’t prepare us for the biking weather.

Snapped this pic to send to Carly, a special employee who understands our Glacier loyalty.

Avalanche Creek parking area. Our guide is ensuring everyone’s bike is ready. Our guide didn’t ride with us. We didn’t ride together as a group either.

Our first e-bike experience. Starting line at the ‘road closed’ gate.

You can stop anywhere, anytime. Zero vehicles.
17-second video: Drew Landry and his band of locals. Gunsight Saloon in Columbia Falls.

In 10 days, we had a day, maybe two that were decently dry and warm. The eight-mile roundtrip hike along McDonald Creek was the best weather day.
