we are home! And more photos.

We are home! Well, we have been home for a while, but I wanted to get more photos up before I posted here. Alas, our router is having serious health issues, so I only laboriously managed to upload 18 of the Ball Pass trek photos, but don't worry - there are about 6 more I want to put up, once the new one which we hope will not crash our link every time we try uploading large files, and then I shall work backwards (or perhaps randomly) and fill in the rest of the trip. ETA: 22 photos now up. I'll post links here, and when everything is up, I'll edit the links into the narrative posts, and make a final comprehensive index post. So basically, you have the choice of seeing things in dribs and drabs, or getting overwhelmed with it all in another couple of weeks or so. Or, you know, just not looking. But how can you resist stuff like this:

Welcome back! And oh, so much pretty! All that snow. You guys look so hard core.

Hee, we are only pretending to be hard core! But speaking of, check out The Kepler Challenge (http://www.keplerchallenge.co.nz/) - this is a 60km trail ultra on the trail we hiked here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/svwindom/sets/72157613958796960/) (and when I can upload again, I have lots more for that set). We did it in four days; the record is a little more than four and a half HOURS.

Wow, I can't decide if that looks like fun or pure craziness! Four and a half hours, holy crap.

I love trail running when I get the chance, but I think 60km of tough trail might do me in!
