Believing You Can Fly

“Believing You Can Fly

Enjoy the trip! ...and just believe.”

“Dude you are very good at doing the trip ebooks.Where are you doing that at?”

“Would you like me to add your links to my clubs website?I would like to show off your cool places where you have gone.If yes please email them to me at

iluvbackpacking@aol.com

Thank you....:)”

“Beautiful area, Tekapo! Thanks for sharing!”

“Love those pics.”

“About Sylvester... Luke 12:24

Very inspirational!!!”

“tekapo,
Of all the trip reports and pictures I have seen posted on this board, this one is by far the BEST!!”

“WOW!

Viewing the pics and reading was a terrific experience. How unspeakably majestic it must have been, to be there...”

“WAY COOL Tekapo!!!”

“Beautiful pics. But NO DOGS???

btw - I have the same tent and snowshoes as you.”

“When your kids are finally old enough and you take them hiking and teach 'em to dump in the woods, are you gonna call it take'a'poo, Mr.tekapo?”

“Wind Walker - Thanks for the reference. I had to look it up. It didn't even come to mind while writing. The words from that book hold a lot of weight with me.


-I wish it were possible to reply more promptly to all your compliments. There's just some competition for my time during the day.

Honestly, even if the trips weren't posted here or elsewhere, putting together the journal entry is part of the trip. Part of the experience. IMV, journaling is every bit as important as the trip itself. You get more out of your outings.

Glad you're enjoying the journal. I intend on keeping it going as long as possible.”

“LOL. Teach them to poo in the woods? Yikes, is that my job? How did that happen?

BTW, it's not Buddur that's banned. It's some Scottish Terrier that was causing trouble last week. Couldn't you tell from the sign? Feel free to take Budder on the trail anytime. Just in case a Ranger should ask, say Tekapo said it was okay. 8)


crazy mike- It might be better to set up a link to the journal page. That way as new trips are posted, your club would have easier/direct access. You're free to do that.”

“Ok I will do that give me the link and tell me what I should name it....:)”

“Tekapo, Very Nice....”

“tekapo - thank you for taking the time to journal and share your trip. Beautiful.”

“Loved the journal of your journey. I just posted this to tell you that and to hope that more people will look into it. Yo-yo, donchaknow?”

“Oh, you're welcome. I've got a vidsnip of the trip I might try and post too.

pepperDog- What does your name mean? Do you have pepper colored dog?”

“I have an Australian Cattle Dog named Pepper. She is with me in my photo on Phil's Photo Page. You can't see her too well but she is the cute one. She is kinda speckled black and white.”

“Hey Tekapo, I'm looking forward to see that vidsnip!! I'll bet the video is awsome :-).

If anyone would like to see my account of our (me and Tekapo) hike, check it out at The Backcountry: Crocker Point.”
