McDonald Creek, spirit

27-second video: There are two bridges over McDonald Creek. One is a construction site now. One is a foot (and horse) bridge. The foot bridge is unknown or invisible to most visitors. The folks on the wooden overlook cannot comprehend how people get across the creek with its inherent and obvious dangers.

McDonald Creek is a drainage basin emptying into 10-mile long, one-mile wide Lake McDonald.

Lake McDonald’s depth reaches 475’.

More Lake McDonald stats here.

Allergic to cold, spirit

Apple Watch fitness app in mountains
Two hours after leaving hotel, we are ready to start our Oberlin saddle hike.

We got a half-mile in and light rain began. There was zero rain expected.

Rule #1 for Mountain weather is anything can happen at anytime.

Because of the cold and wind-chill, i easily decided/agreed to return to our car and wait it out.

The clouds never gave us hope for clearing.

We drove back down to 3,200’ and dry skies.

Wait, you’re still in Glacier?, spirit

Just trying to combine the place with the ritual.

You know who proposed the ritual of waiting for the Mountain Ash berries to turn Jammer Bus red?

Guess.

Still in Glacier, spirit

mountains
Lincoln Peak. Lincoln Pass slopes to the left. This is the trail to nearby Sperry Chalet.

With each passing day, we feel more like we live here.

And if we had to drive a fair distance from a/our house simply to reach Glacier’s West entrance, it would create a time and effort imbalance.

We have intentionally stayed inside Glacier to minimize daily roundtrip travel.

Minimal daily travel is really the key to the Glacier spirit and vibe.

First full day back home, spirit

In Glacier without a printer. This app made a printer unnecessary.

Weird how your spirit soars when your client signs the contract.
