Adventure behind Gensan's Mountains (TABOK CASSAVA)

over viewing Mt. Matutum sunset.

Theirs a moment in life when graduation day is fast approaching and before anything else, me and my classmates decided to have an adventure.  We shall call it TABOK CASSAVA (trail to CASSAVA) or I prefer CASSAVA EXPEDITION.

In order to tell you the story and the fun this is our itinerary:

Team Koryano 

DAY 1

12:00pm – 1pm = call time at queen tuna park Gensan.

1pm - 1:30pm = travel to Barangay Olympog via tricycle (php 25/ head fare)

1:30pm – 2pm = sign in at Barangay Olympog outpost (for safety purposes)

2pm- 5pm = walking time to Sanchez peak

7pm- 8pm= dinner

8pm – till drop = scenery viewing and chatting

DAY 2

7am- 8am = Breakfast

8am- 9am = preparation for departure

9am – 2pm = walk until lagoon

2pm – 3pm = lunch

3pm – 6pm = walk to Polomolok

7pm – 9pm = tambay at classmates house at Polomolok

9pm = home sweet home

Even thou with itinerary still we didn't accomplish the time for some reasons

1.       1. Our girl friends were slow as snails on walking( I didn't mention we take a rest every 30mins)

2.       2. We enjoyed the view and always stop

3.       3. We always pose for picture takings

4.       4. We argue about a plant that looks like a small squash yet it is in the eggplant tree.

5.       5. Swimming in lagoon soon relaxing

To make our adventure short we take routes to Polomolok via mountain, falls and river routes. This once in a lifetime adventure of us takes me closer to nature and made me realize I most conserve nature for my future sons and daughters so they can also see what I see. Cassava trail is awesome try it too.

Just keep in mind this mountaineering ethics:

1.      1.  Take nothing but pictures.

2.       2. Leave nothing but footprints.

3.       3. Kill nothing but time.

4.       4. Burn nothing but fats.

5.       5. NO WOMAN NO CRY.
