19-second video: Heading West out of Browning.

Nice drive from St Mary, through Browning and a half dozen small towns.

Allotted three hours drive, and two hours at airport.

Along the way we stopped a few times to enjoy the surroundings. Cheryl even had the opportunity to dispense our Bear spray. She did well.

The time to prepare for a bear is long before it ever happens.

Note: The time to get and stay physically vibrant is long before your life depends on it.

Mountain Road in fog
Heading down from Logan Pass. It’s cold and cloudy. No sign of clearing.

i just read something (this morning) that caused a pause.

“Don’t share your private details online.”

Makes sense. For most people.

These blogs, as a reminder, are not socially sharable, are not promoted, and cannot be commented on. It’s a dad leaving a trail. A boring trail that shouldn’t interest anyone to stick around.

34-second video: Late September. Elk doing what they’ve done since time began.
9-second video: A quiet, introspective morning. No traffic.
Mountains
After 45 minutes with the Elk, we pass by our favorite stop.
Woman at trail head sign
The blue sky offers hope the clouds will pass.

Three weeks of family and friends joining us.

Incredible to share the wilderness with family and lifetime friends.

Conversely, the adjustment to other’s schedules and abilities.

This juxtaposition is new. It is also the opposite of freedom.

12:30 PM, onsite.

Had our eyes on Siyeh Pass trail today. The top photo shows the unforecasted rain. The second photo shows a midday tease.

Other than midday, it rained all day.

We will try for Siyeh Pass trail tomorrow.

Handwritten notes
In an unusual move, i’m sharing GoDaddy followup notes. The original two-hour call on September 25 (four days ago) notes are not shared on purpose.
Handwritten notes
Once the migration completes successfully, this ticket is for restoring the Ultimate Site Backup feature i purchased years ago.

We know our home will take a direct hit.

We lived through three major direct-hit hurricanes in 2004 – in four weeks time, remember?

Charlie. Francis. Jean.

Remember?

Only those who lived through it can remember it like it was yesterday.

In 40 years, we’ve been home for every hurricane. To not be there for Ian is anxiety-producing.

Why?

The catch this time is we won’t be able to immediately identify any interior breaches from wind or rain.

An interior breach of any kind for any time duration can make a mountain out of a molehill.
