Traveling light requires personal leadership

The following photos were taken while watching a Hawk and Squirrel face off in an oak tree. Eventually the Hawk (first photo it’s wing appears on lower left side) took flight and then flew directly overhead. Was just finishing an hour-long walk.

One small backpack, the kind college students use to carry books and laptops.

Four days, three nights. One thousand miles from home.

Traveling light requires personal leadership.

Being prepared for anything while traveling light requires an even higher level of personal leadership.

Try it.

Get really good at it.

It’s freedom.

Heaven.

Middle-aged adults have fun on a Labor Day weekend reunion in a mountain cabin

 

(photo: The audience from the Don McLean sing-a-long… check out the second from right… hysterical?)

This group has been getting together over Labor Day weekend since graduating College in 1981.

Leadership takes many forms and has many accountbilities.

Relationships are near the top.

Perhaps (even in a busy world) the single most important thing?

Carving out time, eh?

Leaving in three days for the birthplace of this late-blooming intrepid traveler.

There comes a time when the time is now.

Thirty-fve years ago none of the 12 people would have have remained dry.

Yesterday, only the 20-year old got wet without hesitation.

This inspired another, much older intrepid spirit.

Leadership is meant to inspire.

Well played Brian.
