Write Up:

We had a good turnout for this hike. As usual we tend to have "rocket boosters" like Nereida, Marion, Michelle S and Erik K who got to the finish line on time @2:30pm.  The rest of us did just fine and finished at 2:45pm.  There were 3 different GPS readings as to the actual mileage (8.4 miles, 9.4 miles and 10.2 miles).  I'm saying that we did 9.5 miles as per my calculation to the distance we have trekked.  It was kind of interesting to encounter two big horses especially with the first one not so enthused seeing a big group in front of him.  The lunch break took place at the observation terrace with a short class on nutrition common sense for everyone to take home for the holidays making this hike a success as seasoned for the hikers' wellness. Thank goodness for Halls Menthol Lyptus!  Oh, by the way this was really a "wellness hike" having 2 doctors: Dr. Chrissie (physician) and Dr. Barbara (retired podiatrist), and a dietitian... we could have had a "wellness check-up"! Thanks Everyone!!!

 

I will be posting the photos tomorrow.
