Go the extra inch

Disney Customer Service speaker surprise on a mountain
Three small stones and a pin. Easy to carry. Simple to stage. Atop Mt Oberlin, 8,200’.

While the location is ridiculously “extra mile”, it is not a big deal in my universe. 

What really makes this iconic photo spot buzz is the “little extra”. 

The pin is attached to my daypack. The small stones fit in the water bottle netting. Easy peasy. 

The planning? Instinctual, habitual. Auto-pilot.

In honor of our 50th

  • Last night, September 29, 2021. Lake McDonald from Apgar Village. 
  • Life hack: always bring the good time with you. 
Glacier National Park 2021.

Like i always say, find a million ways to stay motivated. 

Motivation is like a fire. You must continuously add fuel to it or it will go out. 

What fuel?

That’s on you to lead your own way. 

Have fun with it. It lasts a lifetime. 🎉💯🏆😎🎁

It’s hard work until it isn’t

  • Decay and decline is the circle of life. 
  • Every human dies, not every adult lives. 
Glacier National Park 2021.

Your body is surviving because you don’t want to do the hard, time-consuming work to transform from a slothful mindset to a vibrancy mindset.

Semper Gumby

Mountain rainbow
Never gets old.
Bears are not interested in eating humans. Obviously there are exceptions to nearly everything. 
This photo shows the bear doing what it knows it must do. Eat like crazy before hibernation. Like humans, every bear is different. Make no mistake, a different bear in this same circumstance could be dangerous and potentially deadly. 

Semper Gumby translates to “always flexible”.  

Having Cheryl here for three weeks is the coolest. 

Last year’s solo visit (due to Covid) saw me wear out a pair of running shoes (i always hike in running shoes) midway through the 50-day work-visit. 

This year the hiking is less. Driven by trailhead parking availability and Many Glacier Road closing Sept 19, and, huge crowds. 

Finding alternatives has been and remains wonderful.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Two story white cottage house
Sunday morning city walks are delightful when there is 90% available parking. Most have no idea what this means. But you do. We met the owner, Rhonda. She came to Whitefish in 1977. 

Glacier has been a challenging opportunity this year. 

Overcrowding has forced some creative decision-making this year. Overcrowding is also driving next year’s creative solutions.  

This is a first-world “problem”. We recognize this. We are Disney. We welcome the opportunity to flex our world-class, time-tested Disney creativity to reach innovative solutions. 

Adapt and overcome. 

This is the way.
