Every picture tells a story don’t it?

Enol led, Homani second, and i brought up the rear.
It gets more precarious.
Yikes. Can i do it?
Can i do it? Yes, i can do it!
A serious climb up from the flat Swiftcurrent Pass Trail.
The Goat trail gave way to no trail.
First big milestone – our destination – Shangrila.
Always in my pocket.

Every picture tells a story don’t it?

Safety takes a backseat to nothing

Speeding tickets stink.

It was a wakeup call.

i never speed.

To make it to the Going to the Sun Mountain trailhead in time, i would have to drive faster than the speed limit.

Exponential hate

What filled my thoughts in the hours and days following 9/11 was how could someone’s hate for Americans be so great that killing 3,000 innocent people was justifiable.

It would not be inconceivable for the terrorist’s death toll goal to far exceed 3k.

Exponential hate.

i have a dream…

Exponential love.

Can the iPhone 11 get us there?

No.

Motivation is our only hope.

Disney Magic can be a spiritual experience

On our way to the Kalispell airport.
They are on their way to Glacier National Park. Just a little spontaneous Disney Magic.
On Sun Road last night while driving East.
Oberlin on the left, as the drive continued up to Logan Pass.
The final two miles West of Logan Pass looked like this. Drove about 5 MPH.
Do i ever not stop and take a photo here? No. last night about 7:30 PM.
Fog not as thick on East side. Heavy Runner is the tallest here.

Spent the afternoon at the Columbia Falls public library doing work and didn’t leave until 5:00 PM.

The drive to Swiftcurrent Motor Inn will take about three hours.

The drive isn’t that long, but the 3-hour timing factors in photo stops.

You just never know

We hiked the last half of The Loop trail with a couple from Texas. They have summited the highest peak in 49/50 States. Only Denali in Alaska eludes them. 
Same trail (The Loop), different mood with the clouds. Thankful it wasn’t raining. 
First time seeing this. Yesterday on the drive from The Loop to Lake McDonald Lodge. 

The couple we hiked the final two miles with yesterday have hiked the highest summits in 49 of 50 States. Not only that, they have also summited the highest peak in Africa and in Russia. 

Djuan has done the highest peak on all 7 continents. His Everest credit is from a HALO jump. HALO stands for High Altitude Low Opening.

The conversations they had about specific far-off villages, trails, people and camp sites was astounding. 

You just never know what a stranger knows that you know, that almost no one else in the world knows.
