My Day Hike Yesterday

[fiddlehead]

I posted some of this in another thread but didn't want to hijack it, so here:

Yesterday, i went out hiking in the jungle here to show my trail to a guy i had met online.
I am just recuperating from the marathon in 100 deg. heat and a bit sore.
I have a bad cold and had to work the night before until 1 am. (we left at 8 am)

I wasn't expecting much.
Turned out this guy is a great hunter from New Zealand and taught me much about where we were.
He showed me where wild pigs had apparantly rooted in the ground, 3 different species of butterflies, we took a lot of pics of giant spiders, and he was very impressed with the trail and it's beauty.

Here are a few pictures near the southern-most point (the end) of my trail here in Phuket from yesterday's hike:

All great trails have great endings.
On this one, you'll have to retrace your steps about 1/3 mile to the nearest bar.

Or you could just stop 1/3 mile from the end and call that good. . . :sun

Well, thanks a lot for that LW.
May I add: Especially if you like Floyd.

I almost had an AT thru-hiker ("Wall" '95) come and do this trail with me but, we had one of those "monsoon" driving rain days and he had to fly out the next day (Yesterday)

Anyone is welcome to come and hike it although i am only half finished with the route (after 1 1/2 years of exploring this island).
