Tracey Polglaze, My 78 year old Dad and I. (June theme "HIKING BUDDIES")

Early May '18, my 78 yr old Dad and I embarked on another wonderful adventure in Kahurangi National Park, NZ. We hiked 88km over 9 days, reliving memories from Dad's days as a forest ranger in this area. Dad now has Alzheimers disease, and is unable to hike amongst his beloved back-country mountains alone. It is my privilege to take my turn at being navigator.
