Swiftcurrent Valley, day 3, mind

two hikers at Glacier trailhead
Could be 2022 with Jody Maberry. This was my test to tackle and overcome “Devil’s Elbow.” Btw, it was insanely insignificant.

What is challenging, perhaps mind-boggling, to believe?

The fact that 53 years have passed since my first visit to Swiftcurrent Motor Inn (and Glacier National Park).

Swiftcurrent Valley, day 2, mind

Many Glacier Hotel
Glacier National Park (GNP). Yes, it’s this beautiful.

Swiftcurrent Valley is so close to Many Glacier Valley, i don’t even know why they are called separate things.

So here’s some insight from the above photo.

Many Glacier Hotel is in the foreground, and everything out of sight on the left is Many Glacier Valley. Everything (repeat, everything) in the photo above is the Swiftcurrent Valley, including the signature Mt Wilbur.

July 23 and 24, reverse wildcard, mind

man Wearing two backpacks
A tradition that has seen it’s days…wearing two backpacks on back and front…’handsfree’ travel’.

Need to get two days of blogging in one day’s worth of writing

Why?

Remember the Wildcard Day about three weeks ago.

On that day, needed to write two days worth of blog posts on the same calendar day.

Why?

Some months have 30 days, or 31 days. And since i’m writing 60 days (not 61, nor 59, but exactly 60) in advance, the math sometimes makes me adjust so the day i write the post is the same number it publishes on two months in the future. Quirky, but i like it this way.

Off the map, mind

jeff noel in Glacier
Glacier National Park (GNP). Letting go: Eliminating a fear of heights was never a goal, but a remarkable transformation happened serendipitously.

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.
