In August 2011, Hugh and I walked to Heritage Lodge in Ruahine Forest Park. There was ice on the bridge, and a small stream below. The tramp does not take long, from a car parking area, and the views on the way show Mt Ruapehu,with some snow. If you look closely,there is that fleece hat again!!!
The lodge has bunks, table and seats, a fire, and at the far left hand side, a set of very steep steps to the outside long drop( a toilet ,WC, or other terms can be used ,depending if you are a lady, a man, or just plain desperate!!!).
Nearer the East Coast, inland from Napier, is the Kaweka Range. Hugh stayed in the hut there for several days, and assured me that with a fire roaring, it was cosy. This was in March,2010. I stayed home, with family commitments.
This was an unusual moss circle on the way to one of the top ridges.

Love the quote and the photos - that yellow hut is great.
I love that quote. It's perfect for your post. It seems that huts are very common in your country. What fun!
You asked if I took my clover photo with a macro lens. I didn't because I don't own a macro lens yet. Instead, I used the macro feature on my point and shoot.
Enjoy your spring as we enjoy our fall!
