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’m jealous. Looking forward to hearing all about it. Hiking NZ is high on my “bucket list”.
Have a great time.
Pics or it didn’t happen. :)
I expect a lot of pictures when you get back.
No worries! I’m taking 8GB of storage with me, which I think is about 1400 pics on the Digital Rebel.
Have a great trip, Casey!
Have a great trip! Love to hear about it when you return.
The weather has been fantastic the past couple of days, and very warm (hot) in some parts of the South Island. Hope it’ll stay that way for the duration of your trip.
Have a good flight over and enjoy yourself when you get here.
Luckyyyyy. Have a great trip!
Have a great trip!
I’m just slightly (read: massively) jealous (read: green-with-envy)!
Have a great time! I’m hoping to get down there before too long, so scout out some good hikes for me, would ya? ;)
I just got back from a 2 week trip to the North Island and it was fantastic. Going to the South Island for at least a month is next on my list.
You’re gonna have so much fun! Safe travels and I’m looking forward to seeing your pictures!!
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.
Oh how cool! Have a blast!! I look forward to the next blog post.
Have an amazing time!

Awesome! Have a great time!
Tomorrow is the 21st – that means you’re back – woohoo! Look forward to the updates!
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. }:-}
Where’s the report?? :P
