Milford Accomplished!
Jenn just checked in from Milford Track--they made the final 11 mile trek to the boat yesterday--but had to go at a faster pace to make the 3:15pm ferry. Avalanches meant no bridges were in place, so wading through some water / hoping rock to rock, walking in river beds. No helicopter ride either, the pass was open. Trails intermittentet. Wet to the core on day 2--snowed at night, a little rain on second day, but great weather the rest of the trip. Food: they brought way too much food. So they were able to be generous with some young 20yr guys who didn't bring enough. In return the young guys reserved the prime bunks for Jenn and Mary (bottom bunk for Nanna). But they weren't so galant as to offer to carry any of the food or gear. Photos to come...
