glyph 355: Colorado mountains . music ... composers, Gustav Mahler ... geology ... art and landscape
On Wednesday, October 18 at 5:40 pm Mountain Daylight Time, the U.S. Board On Geographic Names voted unanimously to name a magnificent 12,493' Colorado peak just northwest of Rocky Mountain National Park "Mount Mahler." The vote was the fruition of a lifelong struggle, which began when geologist Bob Michael climbed the unnamed peak in May of 1968: "a most handsome and worthy summit in a truly spectacular setting. Worthy, indeed, to bear the name of Gustav Mahler."

The Explorers Foundation Glyphery is a collection containing indications of things that have to do with the emergence of a world fit for explorers, and of a people fit to inhabit such a world. We call this the emergence of freeorder. We intend that our work and the work of similar ventures will spread a conviction that such a world is the destiny of humanity, one hard fought for by a growing few over centuries. Such conviction will inspire an avalanche of events, in imagination, thought, and action that will make it so. — https://explorersfoundation.org
