Out Until Feb. 21st

by Modern Hiker on February 4, 2010

Tomorrow, I’ll be boarding a flight to spend two weeks on the South Island of New Zealand.

Obviously, I won’t be updating Modern Hiker or responding to emails during this time, but should have plenty to talk about when I get back. I may be able to send updates toTwitter if I’m near any WiFi, but that’s not what I’m going there for in the first place, so don’t expect much!

You guys have been great in the comments lately, helping out other hikers and having some good discussions, so I think I’m going to leave the comments open. Please excuse any spam that gets through. I don’t know why term paper plagiarists think hikers are in their market, but oh well.

See you all when I get back! Happy hiking and take care on the mountains for me!

I’ve been reading your blog for months now, and ironically when you leave, I post my first comment. This is one of the best resources, hands down, for hiking in SoCal. It has tremendously benefitted me; I recently moved from Maine to this area and have referred to your trip reports frequently in order to establish my geographic knowledge of this area. Thank you!

Hiked Eaton Canyon Falls today, a lot more water than usual. Fun to pick river crossings, and not easy in some parts. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Best of luck on your journeys.

Awesome! I have a colleague who works from his resudence in NZ, he’s within easy walking distance of a beach and a forest — lucky bastid!

I also see from Google Earth that there’s awesome hiking across NZ, some of it absolutely phenomenally rugged and dangerous, the kind of stuff I like. }:-}
