The Twisted Trees of Slope Point, New Zealand

Slope Point is at the southernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand. The air streams loop the ocean, unobstructed for 2000 miles, until they reach Slope Point causing incredibly strong winds. In fact, the winds are so strong and persistent here that they perpetually warp and twist the trees into these crooked, wind-swept shapes. 

Slope Point is generally uninhabited, except for the herds of sheep that graze the land. There are no roads leading here, however backpackers regularly make the short 20-minute walk to see the fascinating tree formations that only Mother Nature could create. However there is no public access during the lambing season from September to November.

Wow, look at this photography!

These are such nice camping pictures.

So of course I am 100% backwards and seeing these pics of nice camping makes me want to go stupid camping where we all piss in the bushes but still put a toiletpaper roll on a little branch, and hunt down our own firewood and hack up fallen branches.
Then maybe we could all mutilate a watermelon for it’s liquid life-source and try not to get most of it on the ground!!
But no matter how hungry I get, I would most absolutely definitively certainly positively stay away from the undercooked hotdogs.
