The hiking team falls apart now. How I miss the good old days when a goup of more than 10 people hiked together, talked at our will and laughed to our hearts' content. The happiness, coupled with the mountain scenery and its scent, will be forever etched on my mind, and kept in the memory lanes as we march on in our life journey.
Waking up to a foggy morning, my husband and I decided to hike Black Star Canyon, a place we visisted once but never finished. It was a beautiful morning. When we parked outside the canyon, a half moon was on the morning sky, luscious and serene, with the valley underneath covered in green. Our destination today is the remote waterfall. Though it is only 6.8 miles round trip, the 4.1 miles leading to the waterfall are full of big rocks with the steams meandering through in the middle. It consumed us three hours to finish the trail in the end. At certain routes, we are like the trail brazers, groping for the way up, using our hands, butt, and whatever is reachable in sight, rocks, vines and tree root, etc. As steep as it is rugged, it involves a lot of big rock climbing and jumping, and it asks quite some attention to navigate for the best route. Every muscle of mine was seemingly in active use. Ginger as I am, I still slipped and fell to the ground four times (my neck hurts now). It is the most daunting and audacious hike I have ever had in the past three years.
收到冬夏MM留言,赶紧来吱一声。前一阵太忙,很少进城逛坛子了,一直想着来你家串门学习呢。
特喜欢读你的文章。这篇神雕侠侣太有水平了。朋友间的聚与散,上下山的苦与乐都写得那么动人。有过与你们相同的经历,所以感触很深。祝福!
暖冬脚力真好,5个小时的山路,佩服!
中英版本都写得好好,读得我脚痒眼痒。可惜我不是会爬山的人,面壁去了...
新的一周开心!
