As scary as this sounds

As scary as this sounds…

i’m putting all my proverbial eggs in one basket…

i live by the serenity prayer (not perfectly, but way better than ever before).

Pack light so you can carry everything.

Bead jar, Jack (Bear), bag full of Disney characters, name tags, and extra-Inch pin.

Pray for a generous group of people to hike along with.

And enjoy the cooler temps.

And God’s divine providence.

The little boy asked a simple question, “What are you doing?”

Almost instantly, “I’m taking their senior yearbook picture and then we’re doing a class photo too.”

Another guy, who i later discovered was the boy’s Dad, offered to take a couple pictures of me doing my art.

Not gonna lie.

Last night tested my peace of mind.

i’m literally in the middle of nowhere.

Alone.

Sure, the Boathouse has doors with locks and heat and all the stuff our house at Walt Disney World has.

But it is so quiet and so desolate this time of year.

It feels like i’m 100 miles from help if i need it.

Having WiFi and ATT helps.

Eventually, i feel asleep.

Woke up at 2:45am (4:45am Orlando time), excited for a great day.

And OMG, because 13 hours of today have happened already, it’s all I can do to keep my mouth shut about it.

Spoiler for tomorrow. Today has been an incredible day.

You may return, but be ready to leave at any time

Sprauge fire 2017 update
September 22, 2017 update. The private residents next to Lake McDonald Lodge may return to their cabins. They must remain ready to evacuate at any time.

 

You may return, but be ready to leave at any time.

A few weeks ago, Lake McDonald Lodge and the adjacent community of private residences around Lake McDonald were at risk of being destroyed by the “Sprauge Fire”.

i leave in four days to return to Glacier National Park September 27-30.

i want to see the Mountains dusted in snow one last time before i die.
