As we push into the double-digits with our hikes, we wanted to highlight our favorite. However, despite lengthy discussion, we were unable to come to a consensus on the matter, ultimately narrowing it down to two hikes. Tiger, Squak, and Cougar we immediately put out of the running, a combination of over-familiarity with the trails and the encroachment of housing developments into the scenery. .

A quick year-ending joke for you...Two guys are out for a long hike one day. They stop to take a rest for a few minutes and just then, a large venomous snake slithers by and bites one of the guys on his "manhood"! "Oh shit, what am I gonna do", says the guy that got bit. His friend says, "Stay here, I'll run to get help and be right back". With that, the friend runs as fast as he can to get he

It's so great having nice weather again. Mum loves it, I love it, Gracie loves it - so we went hiking again, yesterday.And we got to experience something new. We rode in the back seat of the Rover! Mum never lets us do this, but the park where we started our hike is only about 1/2 mile away from home, and there is very little traffic. Mum drove 20 miles an hour on the road to get there, because she was nervous about us being loose in the car, she is so funny!We got there and left the Rover parked in the lot. Mum put on her hiking shoes and then ventured down the path to the river. It's the White River.According to Wikipedia: The White River is a two-forked river that flows through central and southern Indiana and is the main tributary to the Wabash River.

Anawangin in San Antonio, Zambales is fast becoming a popular destination for those seeking a beach to getaway from it all. There aren't too many amenities on this secluded beach. In fact, there are none. It's a favorite of those who want to camp out with nothing but bare essentials. And that's because there are only two ways to get there, by pump boat or via a 5-hour hike up Mt. Anawangin.We decided to do the latter, a night hike at that! We left Manila at 1 a.m. and after a leisurely drive, arrived in the town proper of San Antonio, Zambales. Our destination was Pundaquit, a barangay several more kilometers down the road by the beach. If you get lost, you could easily ask the tricycle drivers how to get there. We finally made it to the jump-off at 4:30 a.m. just in time to start our nigh

Hiking Baby Carriers. Baby Carriers For Hiking. Video On Selecting A Hiking Baby CarrierThe first clue that I had a budding backpacker on my hands came when Samantha was just six months old. My normally joyful cherub, bundled into her stroller, was sending howls of rebellion heavenward. Unwilling to admit defeat, I broke out the child carrier backpack, made a swift transfer, and in an instant the world was right again. A big toothless grin crossed Samantha's face as I hoisted the pack and away we went.Despite Samantha's obvious delight, the child carrier would be gathering dust were it not also comfortable for the load bearer, me. Just as you wouldn't settle for a $29 bargain-store backpack when doing serious hiking, don't compromise on quality when buying a child carrier. Many of the same

Mount Arayat towers over Pampanga. And you definitely cannot miss it since it's the only mountain you'll see in the plains of Pampanga as you drive along the NLEX. Ever thought of climbing it? Well, there are two ways to get up. The first is via the Mt. Arayat National Park in Arayat, Pampanga. While the second is via the town of Magalang, near the Pampanga Agricultural College.This mystic mountain has always been an important symbol in Kapampangan folklore being the home of Aring Sinukwan, the legendary deity of the ancient Kapampangans. There is also a thriving Rizalista community in the Arayat side.
