The local Chamber of Commerce has a wonderful opportunity to bring world-class professional development to their region.

After the meeting, return to West Glacier and check-in at the Village Inn at Apgar on the shore of Lake McDonald for two more days of inspirational rejuvenation and book writing.

Today’s Writer’s Retreat itinerary is a surprise. i’ve been instructed to keep the entire day free.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Just keep hiking

Glacier National Park stickers
Stickers are an economical souvenir choice.

 

I had picked the Grinnell Glacier hike and my hiking partner suggested the Ptarmigan Tunnel hike.

The trailheads are less than a mile apart, in the Many Glacier region.

Grinnell Glacier is often called the best hike in GNP.

Ptarmigan Tunnel has a feature no other hike offers – the tunnel – and it’s level of difficulty makes it a path less traveled.

Dinner and evening wide open.

Light arrives early and the writing begins well before sunrise.

Drive less than a mile to St Mary Lake overlook to continue writing and be inspired by the sunrise.

An early breakfast and then free time for more writing or whatever inspires me.
