The wheels on the bus go round and round

Red Bus Tours
Logan Pass is a tour stop.

 

Experts, often, get that way because they’ve immersed themselves in their passion.

Makes me think about 30+ years at Walt Disney World.

Completely and utterly immersed.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work i go

Lake McDonald
An office that never gets old.

 

There is a God-given ability to be creative as a member of the human species.

To give anything less than our best is to sacrifice the gift.

It’s a duel journey that should be in tandem

Windermere Prep Cross Country
Team last night. Thursday practices are at 6:00pm. Small yet inspired team.

 

Will miss tomorrow’s season opener as well as tonight’s traditional Friday night team “pasta party”. Every Friday a different parent hosts a pot-luck dinner. Parents are invited too.

A week-long business trip West but i’ll be back for next Friday’s dinner.

The journey to help organizations that want to change the world is a duel journey, as i journey to change my own.

From paralyzing to no big deal in one try

Highline trail
It was a major accomplishment.

 

Highline trail
The trail returned to less intimidating.

 

The Highline Trail was no less dangerous yesterday than a few days before, but it was far less intimidating the second time around. This afforded Cheryl the opportunity to appreciate what we (our son and i) did a few days prior. Until you conquer this personally, you have no idea – i literally didn’t know if i’d be able to turn around and go back.

When our Son and i hiked the scary 200 meter portion a few days prior, i didn’t know if i had the ability to turn around and return to the Logan Pass Visitor Center. Without going back over the same 200 meters we had just finished, it’s an 11-mile walk to the nearest road trailhead, with no other options; and no way to let Cheryl know what was happening. It would have been a disaster – that’s how afraid i was.

Falsely believed for 45 years

Prince of Wales Hotel
Arrived mid-morning. Crazy windy, cold day. Front view.

 

Prince of Wales Hotel lobby
The back windows provide stunning views.

Howling cold wind out back.

Regal.

 

Prince of Wales Hotel
The wind had nothing to stop it. The town of Waterton is on the right edge.

 

Had wanted to visit Prince of Wales Hotel since the first time i saw a photograph of it, maybe 45 years ago. Our day trip intervened future disappointment. I thought it was in the middle of nowhere much like Lake McDonald Lodge. While not in the middle of nowhere, it was not crowded. Cheryl spotted a bear 12 feet away as we pulled into the hotel.
