milford, attempt one:

FOILED!
Sad. We got evacuated. Check out this link:

If it doesn't work, you can try googling TV one NZ, and when you get there search for milford track. Almost a foot and a half of rain in about 24 hours! Unfortunately, we did not get a helicopter ride out--but we did get to wade through waist high water to get to the rescue boats! More on that later, I promise.

We now have a plan B: Milford, 2012. This time, we'll go in January instead of April. :)

Dan's pants stayed dry. No joke. Ask him about it.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

It's a rescue op!
