#1032 - More of Mount Pulag Shots for Friday.

Lovely Friday beautiful dearest Hiveans. May this day bring unexpected joys, new friendships and the courage to embrace new dreams. Here's to a Friday filled with laughter, connection and the magic of togetherness. Stay amazing, and remember, we're all in this wonderful journey together😉.

Now for our daily shots in Kabayan Benguet with our journey to the summit of Mount Pulag which was an adventure that my wife and I will never forget and would love to try again. We joined a group of fellow hikers last minute, thanks to their organizer for including us couple. The six hour hike was indeed a test of endurance with muddy trails and light rain making every step challenging.

As we approached the summit, the air grew colder and the fog was thicker and blocking the view of the world below. The summit was covered in a sea of clouds and fog instead of the breathtaking morning panorama we expecting. There's slight rain continued. Despite the lack of clearing, there still the sense of accomplishment and gratitude for what we achieved as couple. We were here at the top of Mount Pulag with hundreds of other climbers who were mostly young adventurers.

We took a moment to digest the experience, our breath visible in the cool strong windy air. The summit although not as we had hoped was a proof to the spirit of exploration and experiences. We took photos a lot with pride and contentment and for the physical achievement and camaraderie.

When we began our descent, the fog and the rain and muddy trails were still our company as we go back down the mountain. The group moved some fast some slow, my wife and I went ahead with the first those leading the descent in our group because we were in a hurry going back to our transient and back to Baguio City. We carried with us the experience and the joy of the climb which was a treasure that would stay with us.

Follow me on my nature travels.
