New Hiking Trail

When I returned to Cerok Tokun last Sunday, it must be my luck to meet the man whom I have talked to on previous week. I checked, and we agreed, and, here we go, we started the hike on my new hiking trail.

I really felt so excited to try a new trek and started recording my trekking experience in pictures immediately. He really felt so surprise what on earth I was doing at the place that was nothing extraordinary to him. But he was then never talked much, I continued to busy at shooting at here and there between my huffs and puffs.

The starting point of this track (I shall call it Trek at Dam side) is found nearby the small dam.

To make it more interesting, this starting point is marked with a wooden "arch". On the left of the picture that is the dam. Observation on the trek itself I confirmed that, though not as many as my normal jungle trek (I shall name it Trek at Pool Side), it must have been regularly used by fellow hikers.

This portion of the jungle exhibited no animals except the butterflies again. The small blue one led me at the beginning and the big black butterfly hovered around in the usual manner. Yes, see no is never equal to hear no. The overhead smashing sounds told me who they were. Plentiful of half bitten fruits or skins which were found scattered along the trail concurred to that. Luckily those monkeys have yet to learn to throw sticks at me.

Fallen trees and rotten woods are forever parts of the jungle, they can be seen everywhere, either in a friendly or ugly manner.

The smell the jungle was as usual, but it was a little odd not to find a creek nor waterfall around, the prolong dry weather recently may have effect on this.

As it was my first trip to this Trek at Dam side, I had yet to acquire the sense of timing and landmarks on some parts of the trek. It took me one hour to come out from the jungle after numerous guesses for the end, and to re-join the tar road through a small path beside a base station at the peak.

And this is the end of my today post as well before I say good night to you. I shall talk more on the Trek at Dam Side in my next update.
