Prior to shooting this video of Mt Oberlin, did a last-minute summit hike as an end-of-season fitness test. Interesting what .thinking .differently offers you.
Spent a few hours at Logan Pass, mostly sitting in the car because it was “chilly”. Writing busily on the iPhone Notes app.
Swore i wasn’t going to do “one last farewell” hike. Why? Because after 60+ days that Summer, no need to squeeze in one more hike.
While writing and .thinking .differently, had this wild-fool idea to do a “fitness test”.
How fast could i summit Oberlin? Theoretically, at season end you are in peak fitness. Right?
Well, the prior year, randomly did a similar thing and summited Oberlin in 58 minutes (which stood as a personal record). So it was safe to assume i could summit in an hour and down in 40 minutes.

Short video: Highline Trail, September 29, 2017. The date is important because late September can mean you are the only one on a trail, or a mountain. No cell signal. Hungry Grizzlies preparing for hibernation.
Happy present moment. Today’s posts are short, six to 15-second video glimpses into my favorite teacher – Nature.
There are segments to Nature’s course work.
As a child, simply being outside, rolling in the grass, climbing a tree, or catching a firefly at dusk.
As a teen, possibly on your first overnight camping trip. Your first campfire under a starry sky.
As a mature adult, in one of the wildest places in the lower-48.
As a 60-something, perhaps being alone on the eastern 500,000 acres of September wilderness, unconnected to help should you unexpectedly need it.
