The on-deck goodbye

After quitting blogging in 16 days, the on-deck goodbye is Glacier.

By the way, quitting Glacier has a unique context. Almost like a disclaimer.

The plan is to quit the ‘prolific’ annual stays in Glacier.

The plan is to remain open to future, shorter, visits. Perhaps annually. Time will tell.

The idea of visiting for only a week or two in a given year seems uncomfortable weird. Simultaneously, it feels way better than saying ‘never returning’.

Saying goodbye to Glacier

Saying goodbye to Glacier snuck up on me.

Not saying the thought is new. Saying it seemed farther off than 2025.

Last year it became clear that i could never live there. Had always held a romantic belief that somehow it could work. Last Summer’s (2024) extended stay in East Glacier was convincing. East Glacier was the final ‘town’ on my list of possibilities. Discovered that the cold and desolation couldn’t tip the scale.

Hoping for Glacier

My hope for this Summer’s Glacier visit is closure.

Note: Not saying i never plan to return. Saying that a return visit will be a bonus.

Glacier 2025, spirit

Staying inside Glacier, without the options of West Glacier Motel or Swiftcurrent Motor Inn raises our weekly costs. This is new territory.

75-day chalet season

i tried to book Granite. Cheryl tried to book Sperry.

Multiply 75 days times 12 rooms.

That’s the limit of opportunity.

Then, compound the difficulty (and reduce your chances) from an assumed high percentage of multi night stays.

Yeah, super low odds. Close to zero. For real.
