Are you on target for the ETA for Arthur's Pass, Feb. 15th? I have a package ready to mail. Takes about 2 weeks from Alaska so if you are, I need to know as I don't want it waiting there too long but will mail it now if you are ahead of schedule.<br /><br />Uncle FredFrednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287349034621290817.post-64024842828677231022015-01-21T11:28:17.330-05:002015-01-21T11:28:17.330-05:00Wow, what an amazing section!

The...Sounds like you guys are having a great time! The Tararuas are next. Expect every type of weather there. It is beautiful (and windy) once you get above tree line.<br /><br />Here is some pointers for your first few parts of the South Island:<br />The Queen Charlotte Track - You guys will be taking to Ferry to Picton (cute town with the famous Green Mussels.) You can catch the mail boat to the beginning of the QC Track. Ask your mail boat drive to look for the little blue penguins. <br />The QC is super easy. Some rent mountain bikes for this section. <br />The Richmond Range: We stayed in every other hut throughout this track and it worked out good. Bring an extra day of food as we were stuck due to bad weather one day in the alpine section.<br /><br />We are so happy for you guys! Almost done with the North. I'm so jealous about you hike in the South Island. I ask Shadow if he would hike it again with me. Love it! Love it! Love it!Shadow and Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223175512880482446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287349034621290817.post-63264666641091315552015-01-19T09:22:31.948-05:002015-01-19T09:22:31.948-05:00Wow - lot's of action!
