GNP Day 8, spiritually

15-second video: Short-sleeve t-shirt at a place like this is glorious.
Red backpack in the mountains
Lightyear lives for the frontier.
Disney figurine in the mountains
Sing (or hike) like you mean it.

First real 2022-hike with expansive views. Glacier is becoming smaller with each additional visit.

It is feeling less like a destination and more like a (small) community.

GNP Day 7, spiritually

8-second video: Cliche, but timelessly true…nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Blogging prolifically for 14 years exposes you to opportunities and challenges no one else can consider. A curse and a blessing.

A curse because no one has experienced advice.

Blessing because you maintain and improve your ’Day 1’ karma – anything is possible.

You may fail on the journey, yet failure is a gift. But only if you choose to see positively.

GNP Day 6, spiritually

22-second video: Virginia Falls. Before the 2016 Synder Creek fire you never see anything from the trail. Why? Because the lush forest blocked everything.

The day is won in the morning. The morning is won the night before.

Small stones with shadows
The tiny pebbles cast big shadows.

The price you pay for an early start is nothing.

Habits are habits.

Starting early is a habit.

Reaping benefits the crowd never knows about is also a habit.

GNP Day 5, spiritually

8-second video: Sent this to a local business partner.

This Summer, blogging will be different in Glacier.

CLever social media post
OMGOSH. Too funny. From an unattributed LinkedIn post.
DocuSign document receipt
Work from anywhere, anytime. Signed this contract from an iPhone in the middle of millions of acres of Grizzly Bear habitat.

Been planning a GNP blogging strategy for several months.

The fact that today (GNP Day 5) took 11 hours to administer just five days (25 posts) of posts, well….

Well, imagine 22 days worth (110 posts) once this first 2022 trip concludes.

Not to mention another 36 days (180 posts) after Summer 2022’s second trip.

Mind boggling, eh?

GNP Day 4, spiritually

Small café
No assigned seats nor meal period for breakfast. Opens at 7:00am. First come, first served.
Mountain chalet
At 6,600’ Beargrass is just starting to bloom. At Lake McDonald (3,200’) Beargrass peaked a month ago and there are no more blooms there.
Mountain chalet
Your 2022 Pixar/Glacier photo-bombers.
Breakfast order
Happy hiking indeed. It’s all downhill (or flat) from here.
Breakfast order
Go the extra inch, even when you’re the customer.
10-second video: Beargrass blooms later as the elevation increases.
Horse tracks On a muddy trail
As the horseback tour group of 10 rode by, i said to the lead wrangler (and loud enough for others to hear), “Take only photos, leave only awesome. There’s nothing but awesome ahead.” Spontaneous thought…and i love it.

Take only pictures, leave only awesome. 

dad

Take only pictures, leave only awesome. There’s nothing but awesome ahead.

They had another three mile horseback ride to the Chalet. Plenty of awesome to make special memories on a magical outdoor experience.

Note: Always and instinctively going the extra inch, quickly thought of something to make the group smile.
