4/5 ~ 4/6 全家,谷關東卯山 Geocaching

好久沒爬中級山了,真是過癮呀。

本來的計畫是在谷關的龍谷飯店度過一宿之後,前往日月潭。
後來發現,原來谷關距離日月潭大約有 80 公里之譜。
就臨時改變計畫,找了一顆有 cache 的谷關七雄來攀登。
因為不是假日,整顆山都被我們家人給包了。
整天下來,只在山下,才遇到一位山客。
這比起去日月潭人擠人,感覺真是好太多了。


Eight elements in Cingshuei
Bonus cache.

We had a vacation to Kukuan, and in the way, we visited the cache. Today, it's a Tomb-Sweeping festival in Chinese. Strangely, it seems most of people had already done the sweeping already. So, there were not so much traffic as we originally expected. When our car passed Cingshuei, we parked to rest area beside high way.

For some reason, we didn't bring our must-have Edge 705 for hunting. Instead, we used iPhone to hunt. The GPS location is not as precise as Edge 705, and the responding time is also slow. However, after 20 minutes searching, we found it.

Thanks for CyclingTaiwan, Bryan C, and Jasmine C for the cache.

The Log



Tung-Mao Mt. Trail
What a nice trail.

In our plan, we were going to Sun Moon Lake. But after we found it's almost 80 km away from here at Kukuan. We changed it. We have a search, we found a nearest cache, so here we go.

The weather forecast told us, there may be rain after mid-noon. So again, we met no one on trail. This is so good. I must be kind of person which enjoy quietness and peace. The trail is quite comfortable for hiking, even though it's near 6.5 km far and over 1000 meters climb-up. We felt quite enjoy and not exhausted on hiking.

After we went up the hill, I setup a time line for the searching. Because we were not sure if it will rain or not, and we didn't bring any raincoat or umbrella with us. We dared not to stay to long on the mountain. So, 30 minutes is the most. Badly, iPhone lead us to a place which we uncovered almost every stones and rocks, we could not still find the cache. My wife planned to give up, and I planned to send SOS SMS to soya. Fortunately, at the time I keyed in SOS, my wife found it under the rock which I placed my back-bag upon.

We saw a lots of beautiful scenery along the way, Thanks for jingle_tt for the cache.
