>>2549018Glad to hear it's better around then because I would rather end my own life than share the trail with the summer crowds. The DOC huts are also way more expensive and booked out which i normally wouldn't mind but carrying out tents on the off-chance I might need it is just extra weight.
Boundary Stream is bound to have a lot of them. The Ruahines especially if you're deep in the valley parts. Daphne Hut was riddled with them. But it's all part of the fun.
