8/2 北插天山 Geocache

爬完北插天山,就可以爬大山了。

呵呵,本來怕家人體力不足,想一個人來去的。後來大兒子意志堅定,就帶他一起上山。果然不負所望,不錯!


North Chatian Mt. Trail
This is really not an easy trail.

Taipei was in good weather, yesterday. So I decided to take a day off, and went to this mountain. This cache is already left in my desiring list for a long time. During it's terrain difficulty, we didn't visit it. Originally I decided to go alone. But, my elder son insisted to come with me. So, I had a company.

There are many trails to the mountain top. After I google it, I found XiaoWuLai from BuBuChen blog, and also DongMan trail from Tony's blog. I decided to follow Tony's steps, because the condition of the trail looks good, even it's bit of more distance.

We took off at 7 o'clock, and arrived at DongYanShan around 9 o'clock. I was kind of worry about the shortage of time to finish the trail and extra time needed to find the cache. We regularly took a rest for every 20 minutes and only for a drink and go on. At the beginning we are in very good progressive. However after we arrived wood house and began to climb up, we turned to very slow. We met some hikers, all of them were giving up. But my son and I were determined. It turned out we were the only hikers who on the top. Great to my son, and to myself.

At the time we arrived, it's 13:15. Fortunately, we have the cache within 5 minutes. After, we had the lunch, it was 13:50. We dared not to stay too long, we took off as soon as we finished lunch. At the trail, we went back, we were in relax and good mood. My son and I had enjoyable conversation between son and father. I guess I will not forget this hunt, so is my son.

Thanks to jingle_tt, we were not just had a good view, we had a good men's talk.
