Hello Glacier.

 

GNP.

Plus.

OMG.

Yesterday was beyond amazing.

Skies crystal clear at Lake McDonald.

The Boat House location is extraordinary.

The view from inside the house is just ok.

But a short walk to the shore…

OMG.

PS. Today’s posts are being written about 10 hours late, at 330pm, from Hidden Lake Trail. More on that tomorrow.

i’d really like to see GNP dusted with snow before i die

Going to the Sun Road
Yesterday on Facebook.

 

How do we overcome the noise (real and imaginary) from others when our way of thinking and doing goes against conventional and traditional thinking and doing?

Since returning from Glacier with Howard two weeks ago, i’ve been crafting a return trip before October 1, when Logan Pass Visitor Center closes for 2017.

Two other factors creating a sense of urgency include Going to the Sun Road closing Eastbound from Apgar on October 9 for construction. Plus a heavier than normal travel schedule through October leaves few options.

Using Capitalone points, i’ll travel September 27-30.

Booked hotel and rental car days after returning, knowing they can be canceled without a fee.

It feels good to commit.

i had waffled almost constantly because airfare kept going up.

It also felt a little selfish.

The tipping point came when i honored the commitment to live like i have until my 60th birthday.

i’d really like to see GNP dusted with snow before i die.

Rode bike to Podiatrist, then on to the gym.

 

Fear quote
From our Home TV. i do not regret going to GNP twice this Summer.

 

NOAA tracking Irma
The NOAA website will be checked every 3 hours. The time to worry about impact is when you don’t need to. Remember yesterday when it was heading West? Now it’s curving North. Btw, “M” stands for Major Hurricane.

 

In about 12 hours time, i make the adjustment from mountainous fire danger and smoke-filled skies to flat, Hurricane-probable days.

Ready and not ready to leave

Delta App
Our target was a 3:45AM departure from Apgar Village Inn versus our actual (above).

 

There is something Magical about planning ahead.

Mapping out the basics on paper increases your odds of being able to make flexible, adaptive changes if and when you need to.

Bottomline, if you can’t do it on paper, it’s unlikely you can do it in real life.
