GIVE THANKS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART





As one aged, one treasure what is dear to their heart. I am thankful for my family good friends.(I dont have that many) but for the few that are true and sincere I am grateful.I am happy to have so many hiking friends and lately new rock climbing friends.


My grand children gave me so much joy. I might not have much time and do not know how long I will be on this earth, but for the time that I have as long as God lend me breath I will enjoyed their presence. Of course I am thankful for my wife and children and daughter in laws for their care and love. Not forgething my God daughter as well for her love.Though she may be far away, but will always remain close to my heart. God Bless all of you.

A CRAZY HIKE

It all started with an innocent  suggestion, that we should try to hike all the tabur peak in a day. So when Ben finally agreed we set a date .There were many keen hikers, but as the days draw nearer one by one drop out. On the actual date one drop out due to mixed up with the event date another one could not come due to weather report that it was going to rain. On my way to the meet up point I notice the road was wet even though it was not raining.It must have rained earlier in the morning. Anyway having been here so many times, I know even if it rained Tabur will be dry and would not be difficult to hike.
We started our hike at around 7.00am  and crossed the stream to tabur west from  tabur east side. Took about 2.5 hours to complete. we back tracked and crossed the stream and continue with Tabur east and from East side we cut to Tabur Far east and then finally Tabur X and then return to East side to exit to where our cars were.All in it took us about 10.5 hours. It was longer than what we expected. Well, we did have a few stop to have some rest and snack. And also along the way helped some newbies coming down.  This is one crazy hike I will remember. I must also remember not to have any event on the event of another event. Good thing my legs was not so painful and I manage to have my rock climbing event the following day.
