Turns out we (Cheryl and i) know the daughter of the St Mary Lodge and retail area’s founders. They arrived in the mid-1920’s. Their son-in-law, Terry Welder, wrote a book and printed 40 copies. i’m holding the autographed copy Terry gave us three weeks ago.

Best photo possible because the glass is so scratched.

You want spiritual vibrancy?

Welcome hate.

Hate is the iron that sharpens love’s iron.

Mountains
After a second cold creekside sit and soak, we drove a mile or so to this meadow. The second soak was near the Motor Inn.

If you think the price for vibrant peace and contentment is high, wait until you get the bill for regret.

Odds favor a generational legacy. Be careful.

Three men on a hiking trail
“Wing Nut” is hiking 40 miles today. He’s the second person we’ve seen today. The first is heading out 23 miles.
16-second video: Those ”invisible” shadows. Always there. Rarely noticed. ’Never’ enjoyed.
23-second video: Never noticed the upper Goat trail(s) before. The lower, horizontal Goat trail is walkable for a couple hundred meters then it’s unsafe.
Mountains
Ahern Peak. Ahern Glacier.

The high mountain chalet, at first glance, looks like most of life’s basic “luxuries” are gone.

When in reality, the real luxury, is simply being up here.

13-second video: i asked Jody to stay back so i could do this by myself.
30-second video: After successfully completing “Devil’s Elbow”, went back a second time and filmed this. Incredibly non-threatening.

To say Grace or not say Grace, that is the question.

A 20+ year habit, saying Grace before dinner.

But what about when friends or colleagues are dining with you?

Perhaps asking in advance.

Bonus: Speaking of Grace, what sacred me to death turned out to be a non-existent boogyman. Easily navigated Swiftcurrent Pass trail. Like child’s play.

Man crossing high Mountain Lake
Deceivingly challenging to cross and keep your shoes dry. Jody’s shoes got soaked.
Two men next to a Glacier
Break time.
Pixar toy figurine in the mountains
Turning Red is 2022’s first Pixar release. Mei Mei loves this place.

Blessed beyond measure to be given the opportunity to choose to worship my God of choice.

And to be able to do it all the time, anywhere.
