A Door in the Wilderness??

The door on the Greenstone/Caples Track
I forgot to mention one very funny incident on our recent Greenstone/Caples walk. On the second day we found a door - that's right, an actual wooden door - in the middle of the track :!: It was miles away from any road, and could only have arrived by helicopter. Its purpose? Just a joke, I'm guessing. Those rascally Kiwis :lol:

But the incident did get me thinking about metaphorical doors ... and all things wild. The resulting blog post is here http://www.naturescribe.com/2012/04/door-to-wild.html

The rest of the walk is also described on the blog, starting here http://www.naturescribe.com/2012/03/against-flow.html

cheers

Did you open it and walk through? Maybe it was a doorway into another universe? :mrgreen:

** yes ... and I woke up here, inside a computer ... reading about walking instead of doing it **

either someone nicked it when they were doing one of the huts up or a helicopter probably dropped it....
