As we travel through New Zealand, we will do our best to send dispatches from the road. Updates may be sporadic, but we hope to keep everyone informed and excited about the progress of the trip.

We will also upload photographs to the Walkabout SmugMug account. Here, you can view pictures as a slideshow and buy those you like.

Here's the link to the New Zealand SmugMug page.

Also, you can check out the detailed itinerary for each day on the Walkabout New Zealand website.

Prentice Cooper: Snooper's Rock and Mullins Overlook

Today the New Zealand participants went for a hike in Prentice Cooper. While we expected storms throughout the day, we walked from the trailhead to Snooper's Rock without a drop of rain falling.  Determined to break in the shoes we will wear when we trek on the other side of the planet, we continued on to an overlook of the Tennessee River Gorge and Mullins Cove.
