Trade perfect for treacherous

Mountains
Bishops Cap, right. Swiftcurrent Mountain and fire tower (middle right).
  • Cataract Mountain center, Mt Siyeh upper right.
  • Siyeh Pass center ridge. This is where we saw the Grizzly and cub six days ago. Matahpi Peak far right.
  • So amazing. Humbling. Exciting.
  • Looking Northeast towards Many Glacier Valley and the Great Plains just out of sight.
  • Could almost touch the clouds. Surreal.
  • An area i’ve yet to explore, behind Siyeh and Matahpi, going East.
  • Zooming out for better context.
  • This could be the most striking vista of the entire seven weeks.
  • Bishops Cap is so iconic on the Garden Wall (Continental Divide) from Going-to-the-Sun Road.
  • Goosebumps. You can summit Bishops Cap. Can. Not. Imagine.
Pollock Mountain summit September 23, 2020.

Life, like weather, is exhilarating, often nondescript, and sometimes treacherous. Hone adapting, overcoming, celebrating.

More…

We had perfect weather – blue sky, warmth, and no wind – summiting Mt Reynolds 10 days ago. Today we had blue sky, yet unseasonably cold, ferociously-driven winds.

We spent three glorious hours on Reynold’s summit. We squeaked out maybe five minutes on Pollock. We adapted, overcame, and celebrated. Grateful for it all.

Career solid

Rocks are just giant grains of sand.

None of us can predict our future. All of us can decide to never artistically give up.

Sold the experience, not the features

Matt picked a unique rock to add to the pile. It is tradition for first-time hikers to add a rock at the summit.

Pay goodness forward. Invite a stranger to do something remarkable. Sell them on the vision.

Without thinking

Rain, clouds, cold…it’s convincing enough – without even thinking about it – to make today an office day.

Culture is what you think and do, without thinking.

What’s taking so long?

Just for fun… a closer look.

A single, 50-day trip, even with good wifi, placed an unexpected and month-long burden on daily home life when i returned home to Walt Disney World.

In the past, and without Internet, i used the Notes App to daily write in Glacier and then transferred content and loaded photos at home.

Super time consuming.

In addition to securing good wifi this year, i also pre-loaded last year’s Glacier photos, while at home with good wifi, for this Summer’s posts written in Glacier. Writing is always easy. But uploading photos in WordPress takes longer than forever.

This solved for historically and excruciatingly long load times when i tried to keep up inside the Park.
