Previously, on Dave On Arrival
This is where we'll be doing the Tongariro Crossing Mount Doom behind me
19 kilometers?
Long ways to go yet
The following takes place directly after that video
OK, this is something really cool
I've never been inside of a crater before or a volcano
But look where I am now I am encircled
by mountains I'm encircled by mountains
Ah, there's Mount Doom Just climbed that
and, uh, it's called the South Crater
I'm not sure if this was volcanic or not
but it's pretty sweet
See, here's the crater
here is the other side of the crater
That's like Gondor and stuff over there
Sorry I'm such a nerd for all those non-nerds out there
But, uh, yeah Pretty beautiful
And here is a semi-dry lake
with lots of rock writing in it
Looks like people's names
This one's my favorite It says 'WET SOX'
Still got some more climbing to do though
(The Tongaririo Crossing in not a return trek or a loop)
(It goes from the west side if the National Park to the north side)
(I arranged a shuttle that dropped me off and picked me up at each end of the trail)
More climbing
I think it's all downhill from here
Hopefully
We're at it again
At least I'm making good time
These are the Emerald Lakes
I like that one
Look, volcano
Ooh
That is cold
That is very cold
So the trail takes us through another crater which is cool
This one is called the Central Crater
But the thing is I was wrong before
have to go back up
Let's go
Can't feel my legs
Another lake
This one's bigger though
Can high altitude give you hiccups?
cuz Dave definitely has the hiccups right now
Here's our final approach
all these zigzagging paths
Water
Can't drink this though
Gotta take another rest
Where'd this rainforest come from?
It's over!
Yeah
I'm the last one, eh
Yo. Thank you guys so much for joining me on this awesome adventure
to the Tongariro Crossing and Mount Doom
Seriously, no lie, that was one of the coolest things I've ever done

I post at least once a week

and as for me, after 19 kilometers
of hiking plus climbing Mount Doom
I'm craving protein, so
I'm gonna go eat lots of meat
and maybe some ice cream too
but maybe just lots of meat
k bye
