La West Coast
... nouveau challenge: marcher 6h sans se plaindre pour aller voir un glacier qu'on ne verra pas vraiment à cause des nuages sur un terrain glissant et semé d'embûches (les racines humides nous tendent des pièges) sans rien se casser. Challenge validé par les jurés c'est donc avec la (semi) vue du glacier Franz Joseph que nous pique-niquerons. Même si le haut du glacier ne daigne pas montrer sa crevasse, ...
