Goodness comes to those who seek it

22-second video: Look how far away they are at the video’s start. We always remained distant and hopefully (it sure felt like it) non-threatening to momma.

You get back from the Universe what you put out into the Universe, in my opinion after nearly seven decades here. #truth.

Our second question

41-second video: Lead Grizzly is getting closer to our trail. The other two Grizzlies are still below this one.

A continuation from yesterday’s Grizzly videos…

Our first question, “How many Grizzlies are there?”

Our second question, “Which way will they go once they reach our trail?”

Random 2025 Glacier video, mind

4-second video: August 2025. Never felt threatened. Yet always aware a threat is possible.

We have spent, and continue to spend, our life avoiding Nature Deficit Disorder.

Leaving Glacier in May

Heading home to Walt Disney World.

Live and learn.

May was good. Not very good nor excellent. But definitely not bad nor poor.

We needed wanted to experience late Spring in Glacier a second time because last year was a nice experience.

We learned, however, that May doesn’t have enough ‘star-power’ to match August and September.

Live and learn.

Without the trying and learning, we’d always wonder, and possibly even regret never trying May.

Back to Glacier, mind

Iconic Avalanche Lake. This is a fan-favorite hike. It was wonderful to see Avalanche Creek on full force.

This is opening day, May 15. We checked in for three nights.

The flower baskets are only a few days old and got destroyed by hungry deer who had not yet been conditioned to avoid the Lodge’s public areas.
National Park Lodge lobby
Never gets old.

The fireplace was just as we remembered and expected.

Returned to Glacier in May for 10 days.

Did the same thing last May (2024).

Last year was good enough to have us try it again this year.

Never gonna go back in May.

Too cold.

No access to alpine hikes until mid-July.

We gave it a second try.

There won’t be a third chance.

However, we did have a wonderful experience during the cold and rainy visit…bicycling Sun Road.
