West coast trip postponed

It would seem that NZ'ers are as big if not bigger rev-heads than Aussies.
Everything between Hokitika and Franz Joseph is booked out, there's some
kind of car rally/race or what ever, on. Best I stay away, really!. We
decided to go mid-week when things settle down. Ah well....

Something I'm not used to: the road to Arthur's Pass was closed last night
due to bad weather in the Southern Alps. *gulp* Having done quite a bit of
driving on those mountain switchbacks now, I would hate to think what
they're like in bad weather!

I think for memeory, they're into rally driving in a big way.

It would seem you're right, Melinda! The next meet is at Timeru, so we'll
avoid that next weekend.

These dudes are crazed about extreme sports, even the bike tracks I've seen
are NUTS. We saw one mangled push bike at the bottom of a hill where a rider
had met a sticky end. The gear cog was folded in half. Not kidding.

Ouch! I think that's taking the adenilin(sp) rush thing too far!
