[Billhilly]

Instead of heading into Taihape we turned South and ran through some real country roads and came back out onto the highway at Utiku.
Found this mirror on only one corner out of how many hundred!
And a map of the loop.

Good times!

Oh, at the top of the map you can see a red cross on the blue road (?) where we had our lunch, and to the west is another cross showing where we were up the mountain in December. Clear day and you'd be able to see the mountain to the west, and back to the Hawkes Bay coast in the east.
