back into the park, this time to ketetahi hut, which is right on the crossing (literally. the track goes across the porch). dropped off at the carpark at 1p, i was heading upstream during peak daywalker hours. so i decided to count. hit 100 in less than 25 minutes, 199 at the 1h mark, 281 passed when i got to the hut (1h 50m). that's 1 daywalker met every 15 seconds at the start, and every 25 seconds on average for the whole trip. yikes.

good group in tonight, though, and the weather is fantastic so i spent most of the afternoon and evening sitting on the porch, admiring the endless views, watching the sun set and the stars come out in force...
