Day 4 on the Milford Track
However, the trail was a gentle slope down and just as
rocky in most places. Knowing the end would come about noon and boat would
pick us up at 2:00 pm was a constant magnet.
We came to the washout and found that even with the current
rain, it was passable though sloppy. If only it had rained a little harder......
The photo on the right doesn't do sufficient justice
to how wet we were, how drenched everything around us was. We knew this
is the second wettest place on earth (after the island of Kauai) and it
took hiking this day to remind us why everything is so green and why there
are so many waterfalls!
