I hope you slept early last night and ready for the steep challenge this morning. Though short, the slope may hold you back if you ever overestimate yourself.
Both moving ahead and turning back are difficult at current stage. Anyway, most people prefer not to go downhill using the jungle trail. Risk of knee injury is high when it absorbs the impact of the body weight while going through the roughness and gradient.
But Cerok Tokun is kind enough not to deter you away; "when you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on”. A few of you may be strong enough to laugh away this trivial matter, but who knows when you will need this.
I have not so far presented you a gift for accompanying me during my hiking. This simple green beauty is dedicated to every one of you, and our journey will continue. We can only discover new wonders when we keep moving, and "to keep our balance, we must keep moving" as well.
Have a good rest. No alcohol. No cigarette. See you tomorrow morning.
c u tomorrow morning :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we're going uphill rather than downhill. Thank you for the beautiful, delicate gift.
ReplyDeletei am like you, i find downhill a lot more challenging than uphill, I had to walk on my butt sometimes to go downhill since I am so afraid of falling :(
ReplyDeletelove your shots and your creative thoughts to ponder.
Is that a rope to help you climb up. I know what slopes that have those are like!
ReplyDeleterainfield, downhill for me is very difficult and I sometimes turn away out of fear. But, with you there, I can go anywhere. Thanks for your gift and I will see you tomorrow. No alcohol tonight?
ReplyDeleteThe trail does look difficult, but with a rope to hang onto and you to guide we can move forward. Thank you for the beautiful green treasure.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do have some interesting journeys and hikes Rain! Always looks spooky in your forest. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLook like a bird nest to me. ;)
ReplyDeleteI read your post, I follow your trail. I know where the place is.
ReplyDeleteKeep moving rainfield :) See you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the rope, me being new in the world of hiking and all :) Waiting to see more!
ReplyDeleteUsually downhill is easier, but your adventure sounds treacherous. Hope tomorrow's adventure will yield more photo gifts.
ReplyDeleteI like your dark pictures on this section of our hike. They make things seem mysterious and fun. You are a very good hiking guide.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for taking me
ReplyDeletealong" on your walk. It has been very inspirational as well as fun. I dread the downhill walk too!
"when you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on” fully agree ya!!
ReplyDeletehohoho no cigarette is reasonable but why no alcohol?? i love wine =p
Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteVery nice green gift, Rainfield!
ReplyDeleteDownhill is often harder, on foot as well as by car:)
I didn't see you the next morning. I hope everything is okay with you, Rainfield.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful journey so far! I think I'll do what betchai did, and that "walk on my butt" for the downhill..
