About

I’m an programmer from San Francisco.  In January-April 2009 I did a through-tramp of the completed portions of the Te Araroa Trail in the South Island of New Zealand. I started the trail at Bluff in the south and finished at Ship Cove at the north end of the South Island.

Even though I only updateed the blog periodically when I’m in town, each blog entry is written as if on the evening of the day in question, and the posts are backdated to the relevant day.  Hopefully this makes for the most logical flow of reading.
