GNP Day 6, work

Trying to adapt to this new blogging habit.

It’s 9:30pm and i’m running on fumes.

And so it goes.

Growing pains.

Lean into discomfort.

Have fun. 🥳👍🏽💯🎁

GNP Day 5, work

17-second video: World-class office view.

Lone car in a massive wilderness — Impromptu office…from 7:30am – 6:30pm.

Man with feet in a creek — Icing the legs, proactive recovery from yesterday’s 6.5-mile descent over 3,400’ elevation loss.

2-second video: good stuff.

Dont wait for good news, make good news.

There’s good news as day 5 concludes while soaking my lower legs in Divide Creek, next to St Mary Lodge.

Ready to begin tomorrow “caught up”.

We’ll see how long it lasts.

Knowing me, there will be some bumps (new learnings from a new habit-forming behavior), but there will be continuous forward progress, fun, and peace.

GNP Day 4, work

4-second video: who delights in shadows on the dirt when this (next video) is the headline show…countless wildflowers…

6-second video: This is the tip (a grain of sand) of the iceberg.

6-second video: McDonald Falls, on McDonald Creek.

17-second video: North McDonald Road looking at Mt Cannon (L) and Clements Mountain (R).

The transition from West side Motel to East side Motor Inn is a 90-minute drive. Stretched it out to four hours.

Why?

To be in the present moment and enjoy the journey, without getting sucked into ‘getting to the destination’.

GNP Day 3, work

To name badges at the dinner table — Dinner with the proprietor.

Mountain chalet — Great Northern Railway.

Backwoods quote on a bronze plaque — Kevin’s grandmother’s words.

Walked into the dining hall for the first (5:30pm) seating. All tables are preset and assigned. Can not find my table for a party of one.

Then Avery says, we put Kevin with you.

Hours earlier, had thought to myself it would be cool to dine with Kevin.

Kevin visits maybe once a week. So the odds are low of being there when he’s there.

Kevin is the proprietor.

A descendent of the original family owner.

Great Northern Railway built it in 1913. They ran it for decades, along with 8 sister chalets. By the 1950’s, they no longer wanted them. Some decayed naturally. Two were sold to the National Park Service for one-dollar each.

Kevin’s grandparents bought concessionaire rights for Sperry Chalet in 1954.

In 1955, they also bought the rights for Granite Park Chalet. These two chalets are made of stone. The other seven chalets were made from wood and decomposed over the decades due to lack of upkeep.
