Brad's Adventures on the Te Araroa Trail




Although this blog was intended to be about the Whidbey Island doings of FrEdLey (Ed, Fran and Bradley), for the next year, beginning November 15, 2011, it will be largely about Brad's adventures as a thru-hiker on the Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand followed by the Pacific Crest Trail in the US. Of coarse, there will be a spattering of the comings and goings of Ed and Fran, along with the frolicking of pup Sir Benton Cowboy, and we might even throw in a friend or two, but this mom's telling of Brad's Te Araroa Trail tramping and Pacific Crest Trail hiking will dominate.

Logistics swirling around money



Brad has arrived at St. Arnaud. I received a quick e-mail and we chatted for a brief period, before he ran off to catch a bus to Nelson. Small town cash machines don't take VISA, making getting cash difficult. Banks take VISA, but there are only banks in larger towns. Traveling hiccups.
