Fjordland Free Camping

Here's some free form thought of the time between Wanaka and now:

Hitchhikers, snow at 800 meters in summer, best meat pies in New Zealand, Te Anau, section of Kepler Track, hiding in huts to escape the cold, seeing the tops of mountains through mist, Fjordland in sunshine, Kea!, tourist crowds and buses that don't stay on their side of the road, illegal camping in National Parks, boat tour of the Milford Sound, lazy Queenstown afternoon, lake beach at sunset, all the bloody Germans.

in Queenstown for two nights to check out the Rural Games (combo timbersports, farm sports, Scottish games, etc) and to pick up some of Patrick's friends from the north island section of trail to hopefully join us for the next week. Next destination in mind is Dunedin. 

Having a blast and getting excited to return home and see family, friends, and loved ones before heading to Florida for a few weeks of work. Excited to return to Yellowstone too and see familiar and new faces!



View from Shallow Bay Hut adjacent to Kepler Track.


Same view but with sunshine!


Dropping into Fjordland.


Overly friendly Kea.


Da Sound!


Amazing street performer in Queenstown last night. Beautiful piano pieces; reminded me of Yann Tierson.
