11 days
2,500 kilometers traveled
2 tremendous professors, Dr. Erik Lindquist and Dr. Joe Sheldon
3 great accommodations allowing us to see diverse forests, caves, glacial valleys and so much more
30 native plant species to identify
Several day hikes (some included Mt. Cheeseman, Inland Pack Track in Paparoa National Park and Franz Josef Glacier)
20 minutes (or 2.5 hours) it took to summit Mt. Cheeseman
3,000 times we heard Kooba (Calvin ’11) exclaim, “Hey, check this out! It’s so cool!”
5:45 a.m. The time needed to wake up in order to see magnificent bird life
4 or 5 wrong turns before we reached the place to hear rowi, (Apteryx rowi) New Zealand’s rarest kiwi bird. Oops.
300 rowi left in the wild and we heard at least one of them.
ONE BIG ADVENTURE.
