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.

Me at Sperry Glacier, July 2023. Photo credit to a fellow Sperry Chalet Guest. Sperry Chalet is deep inside Glacier National Park. So is its sister Chalet, Granite Park Chalet. The next two photos are from Granite Park Chalet’s night sky. You don’t sleep on the ground at Granite, but it’s close…no electricity, no heat, no running water, no wifi nor cell signal, pit toilet, and you hike 1/2 mile roundtrip for your drinking/cooking water.
Granite Park Chalet’s main building casts a faint, nearly invisible, nighttime silhouette.
Saw the Milky Way for the first time from Granite Park Chalet.
Happy present moment.
Why do you love the wild places?
From an early age, nature and all of Pennsylvania’s wild things, bugs, flowers, birds, creek critters, fish – all of it mesmerized me.
Heard Dan Fogelberg’s song, The Wild Places, yesterday and was once again inspired by the final verse:
“When you sleep on the ground With the stars in your face You can feel the full length Of the beauty and grace In the wild places man Is an unwelcome guest But it’s here than I’m found And it’s here I feel blessed”
