Four hours after sunrise. The gang is on the way. Half way here already.

Feel like you mean it.

Had ambitious plans for this morning. Hit Grinnell Glacier trail by 6:00AM (or even earlier). Do Angel Wing for the first time. Park it and ‘just be’. Hike down mid-afternoon.

None of it happened.

But great things happened anyway.

Like what?

Like celebratory things.

Live and learn… was calling Elizabeth Lake, Helen Lake, all day long… On the East side it’s actually Elizabeth Lake that is in today’s photos and videos.

Before there was Taylor Swift and her fans were nicknamed Swifty, there was Swiftcurrent Motor Inn and employees (to this day) nicknamed Swifty.

You know the drill, it looks better in person.

A high accomplishment is to be busy doing nothing. Even higher is to consistently do it.

It’s challenging to do nothing but be quiet and still.

We have few role models, few incentives, and far too many distractions.

The real magic happens when we can do it guilt-free.
