Seeing snow on the forest floor is one thing.

Being outside while snow is falling is a big surprise.

We are mindful that this area is seasonally buried with intense snowfall. Winter is over. We are in the first week of Spring.

And what we see now is not indicative of Winter here. However, we are enjoying our once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The long way

funny quotes on colorful cards
The shortcut, as you know, is the long way.
Funny quote card
Many can relate. Reminds me that ignorance is bliss, in the proper context.

The long way is the short cut.

dad

There are no short cuts.

Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes. This takes a long time to learn enough to be wise enough.

Deserted. Cold. Frozen.

Three months from opening late May, early June.

Time and change waits for no one.

Over focus on observing how others do and don’t anticipate and or react to change.

Benchmark what helps and what hurts people’s outcomes.

Knowing you are blessed is different than being constantly ‘present’ in your infinite blessings.

dad

Like every habit, you shape it into autopilot through repetition.

Being constantly grateful is a habit.

Solitude is chasing beauty

20-second video: Not until 2022 did i make the connection that Reynolds Mountain has always been there in plain sight.

Only ones in the Park. The solitude and quiet is stunning.

Solitude is chasing beauty as the lead actor.

dad

The quiet and solitude we experience deep in the wild revealed itself to us in a very commercial location.

However, the commercial popularity is absent here now.
