Experiments take time

13-second video….Logan Pass Visitor’s Center parking lot…7:30 AM September 30, 2021….freezing temps…will bide my time in the rental car, writing, until the sun warms things up a few degrees.

This “only video” post idea experiment is fun.

Three days, three firsts

12-second video…descending Mt Oberlin after Jody’s first summit here. We are pushing it with a setting Sun, but was confident hiking at dusk with Jody.

It was fun to offer Jody three really decent firsts in Glacier:

  1. First time hiking Reynolds Catwalk
  2. First time hiking to Piegan Pass
  3. First time summiting Mt Oberlin

So far Jody has two Glacier summits under his belt. Honored and humbled to have led him to both.

This year will be challenging to get together. He’s busy. i’m busy. Same thing in 2021 but miraculously it worked out.

Eureka

11-second video…stumbled upon a stromatolite “gold mine”. This side of Piegan Mountain is littered with stromatolites.

Eureka!

According to folklore, when mountain folk found gold, they shouted, “Eureka!”

That’s how it felt to stumble upon this “vein” of stromatolites.

So cool because it was never sought. So cool because Jody knows their prehistoric significance. So cool, finding billion-plus years old fossils.

Final-final video

15-sec video

This 15-second video is the last one before “forcing” myself to stay in the car until i get to the Motel – still a 40 minute drive without stops.

But rather than focus on the mountains and valley, was struck by the breeze gently shaking the brilliant-yellow leaves directly below me.

Second favorite teacher

Short video: Second favorite teacher? Reading. Or maybe, writing.

My second favorite teacher is reading?

Or maybe, reading used to be the second favorite.

Perhaps all these years later, writing is the second favorite teacher.

Second or third, either way, reading and writing are on the medal-podium.
