GNP Day 18, physically

6-second video: Painfully cold water.

Physical vibrancy is an exceptionally under-rated asset.

Could go into detail, but will settle on saying this, it’s so glaringly obvious and needs no explanation nor defense.

GNP Day 17, physically

Mountain waterfall
Spent 30 minutes here, just us. Heavenly. Later, on the return hike out, this place was covered with people. Rightfully so. To hike this trail and not explore this water feature (not a water fall), is sinful.

On this trail, at these two exceptionally popular waterfalls, knew it would soon become crowded.

It’s an ebb and flow.

Crowded on the return hike is an acceptable compromise in exchange for the 5:45am cabin departure.

This Bus, 107, is on a GNP Tee-shirt.

Our bus tour is an all day passive activity.

Yesterday was a marathon travel day for eight and a mental-marathon for one (me).

So today has been a marathon day of sorts for all.

And as if that was not enough…

Waking up in two hours for the midnight sale of GNP room reservations for Summer 2023.

GNP Day 15, physically

Person sitting on the chair and a rustic setting
This is what a ‘rest day’ looks like.

Will likely be more tired from emotional labor than any physical activity could provide.

Why?

Being emotionally invested in projecting great energy to facilitate four first-timers having a great arrival-day experience.

Got to meet Barb today. She’s the 12-year old, second from the left. Her parents, Kay and Ross Luding, saved Sperry Chalet from ruin.

So i see this guy with a salt and pepper beard and ponytail wearing a Hawaiian shirt and i say “aloha”.

This opened up a conversation and an introduction to his mother Barb.

We both thought we looked familiar.

Turns out we met briefly at Sperry, at the end of last year’s season.

Continued on next blog…
