A huge Thank You to Dan Nash for the wonderful presentation, Hiking in New Zealand, at our December meeting. After listening to Dan and seeing his beautiful photos I believe that everyone in the audience is planning to book a trip to that magnificent country. For more information Dan recommends website: www.doc.govt.nz. or the book “Tramping in New Zealand” by Jim DuFresne.
