No place like home

  • The only Halloween-themed rental car counter. 
  • After hours key drop box. What a delightful surprise. 
  • Up at 3:00AM to make the leader board.

You know how much i love hiking in Glacier. 

You may not know how much i love waking up in my own bed, in our home, less than a mile from Walt Disney World. 

Home wins. 

Every time.

Disney anniversary 1982 – Where do i begin?

  • Oberlin saddle. 
  • Oberlin summit. Crushed the previous 58-minute personal best set last year. Catch that heart rate?
  • 2:51pm October 4, 2021. (14 hours ago)
Glacier National Park 2021.

Fitness test?

End of season seems like perfect time. 

Traditionally do Hidden Lake overlook on arrival day. Then Mt Oberlin on first full day (day 2).

Fitness test?

Let’s use Mt. Oberlin. 

Note: January 25, 1982, original Disney hire (start) date.

All in?

Disney trinkets in mountains
Day 60. This year’s visit will yield a 62-day work-from-anywhere (WFA) Summer.

If you’re not all, you’re not all in.

Blinding flash of the obvious.

When it comes to consistency, there’s something to be said for being a zealot.

For example, take being consistently positive with a growth mindset.

Honestly, who wouldn’t want that?

Even if it made you a zealot.

Annoyingly observant

  • Jody spotted this. Photo: looking back on Mt Oberlin. 
  • Mt Reynolds, pictured here, is called a climber’s trail. There are no National Park trailhead signs. Inexperienced hikers should stay away. 
  • Mt Oberlin from the Continental Divide. 
  • Wildlife sightings are less common in October.

My superpower is .thinking .differently 

Or maybe, perhaps, the “power” lies in being willing to over-focus on the same things most under-focus on or ignore, and then take action. 

Overwhelmingly doing the opposite, the ridiculous alternative to tradition and dogma.

Be prepared

  • October 1, 2021. This morning and day are exceeding forecasted weather. 
  • October 1, 2021. 
Glacier National Park 2021.

Be prepared to be challenged mentally (attitudinally). 

This will last a lifetime. 

Imagine your life being fully prepared for the expected, and especially the unexpected, challenges life puts in your path. 

From others. 

From yourself. 

But especially from others.

Now imagine not being prepared for a lifetime. 

Over-focus on the same things others (and you) under-focus on or ignore.
