Track Construction I will have you know that I spent a whole summer working on that track out from Masons Bay and Freshwater back to Oban. Building boardwalks over the mud and strems..and it was a piece of great workmanship....Mind you that was 1981 when Stewart Island was controlled by NZFS. Sounds like there has not been much maintenance on the track since then.
Hello sweeties - a big wave from lonely Wellington - Rob just left for his Eric Adrian Graham trip (in the rain, as it looks), Hannah and Ritchie, Benji, and you two are all down south - what can I do but sing a lonesome serenade! Great to hear you're having fun.
Of course you won't want to hear that I remember Cascade saddle as a piece of piss, and on good track - but hey it was a clear day and the sun was shining (-; ...and I was young and carefree and probably don't remember it right now anyway.
While Joe and Priya are waiting for their treasure to pop out any minute, I am off to the Wairarapa, to visit Tim with Catherine Moger in my luggage - for hopefully a day of bliss climbing the majestic Mt Holdsworth, if we dare.
You see, you better make it back fast, 'cause we're having fun fun fun (till daddy took the van away).
Be well and see you on your next posted pictures.
