Noah Dropoff to Idlewild CG Day 1

Drop off

Waking at 5:30 I stumble into Noah's kitchen and make coffee and breakfast on his stove with my camp pot. People/DavidBylsma/BikeTours/2021-05-SalmonRiver/2021-05-29-noah.jpg does not exist. Create it? Sipping on coffee I recall yesterday's conversation and pat myself on the back for resisting the urge to give advice when Noah shared about fishing serves him to keep busy. I know in my own life I'm learning to Do Nothing and also I'm glad that when talking to Noah I simply heard him and got to hear about the type of focus he loves in the act of pulling the lure.

On the drive up the grade, conversation centers around Noah's work and I'm struck as I often am by his drive and long term planning. I had very low elements of either of those at his age.
