Red Zone on the Road
Speaking of the road. wow. Milford Sounds is an unbelievably a fantastic, majestic place. Take a small look at some internet photos but, man. We arrived late in the day to do some free camping among some beech trees (there are three different kinds out there - don"t know their names) along a huge river and it started to rain at night to wake us up and patter on the plastic above. I found some wild violas growing between the rocks was blown away by the fact that they weren't too close to shore or too close to the land. Perfect conditions do produce a perfect flower.

Anyway we left the place and took the road taking us into the depths of Rolling cliffs and high frosted snow peaks among the blue and white clouds and the amount of life among the forest . .and the moss. There was moss everywhere. On the branches, on the plants .. everywhere. Felt like walking on pillows, so fragile (but I kept to the trail) We stayed the night in the valley with the stars peeking through their peekyness. Oh man, stars are amazing sometimes when you look above and just ponder how small we are all and how part of it we are all as well. Anyway, we took a boat cruise along the high peaking cliffs and the beech trees nestled among every inch of rock holding on with other roots of trees and it started to rain and rain, and rain and then the waterfalls started to flow and flow and every crevice was flowing with water and then it snowed. Talk about global warming? We almost did not make the summit road .. Sue and I had a snowball fight and seeing a lushious fern and moss covered with snow. It was surreal. We went along the curvy road and high towering snowing peaks and large snowflakes hitting your windshield so we decided to stop and . . . .fish by the lake. ahahah Man . .Sue and I are in our snow gear fishing on a lake while it is sunny and snowing at the same time while my lure was caught up in some bushes, yep lost that one. Lost another one on some logs. I was so confident getting a fish while is was sunny on a lake with huge snow flakes hitting the lake .. perfect conditions but then no fish . .oh well . Then I took a walk among the forest after a rainshower with the sun shining through still dripping with water from the leaves everywhere oh and the moss, so vibrant everywhere. The stillness there was something that I have never felt and so beautiful. There are moments when the earth shows itself in its most majestic ways. haha so that is some random thoughts of the trip from Milford Sound « hide more
