Swiftcurrent Valley, day 3, work

wedding photo
Wedding photo, early 1980’s.

Married, 1983.

Lived in Pullman, Washington, 1982-84.

Visited Glacier National Park the first time, together, late Fall 1982.

Glacier is about a six-hour drive from Pullman (WSU).

Never thought we’d ever go back.

This is important context.

Yes, we loved Glacier.

Never dreamed we’d go back.

Ever.

Try and wrap your head around that.

Swiftcurrent Valley, day 2, work

fun t-shirt about getting outside
Dude, i do this daily. In Orlando. In Glacier. In…anywhere i happen to be. #truth

Nearing 70, there’s no way in heck any of my days can start without going outside early…

And staying outside.

July 23 and 24, reverse wildcard, work

Disney Cruise
This is Carl from Pixar’s UP sitting in his chair as he read Ellie’s note. Adventure is out here.

Cheryl and i have talked about a Glacier Farewell Tour for a couple years. And 2026 is perfect timing.

Why?

Two catalysts:

  1. First, after 500 nights at Glacier National Park (GNP), we’re feeling satiated.
  2. Seeing my recent ‘final” retirement (Dec 31, 2025) coming, we wondered what we might do with all the extra time and money not spent in GNP.

Simple.

Off the map, work

Disney characters in the mountains
My first (unintentional) solo summit, on 9,200′ Piegan Mountain, 2020.

What does ‘off the map’ mean?

It means you are stepping back to a time when our ancestors walked past the village line and ventured out into the unknown.

It means you won’t see another human all day. Don’t make any mistakes in the wild. It may cost you dearly.
