I love this! I took that boat trip as well as doing the Milford tract! Rained on us the entire time. Looks like you might have had better weather! #9328591

Thank you all for your gracious comments! Yes, Carol, I was very fortunate with Milford since it usually is so rainy. We got all the rain and fog in Doubtful! #9328952
