the mountain with a view of the pacific ocean... what more can you ask for other than a hot pan of pepperoni pizza?


mga mukhang kawawa... you would look kawawa too if you've been walking for about 4 hours and you haven't had lunch...


ah yessst... tabing ilog... we camped beside this river after walking for a day...


housing.. hehehe... this is our real camp site... we stayed here for over a week... we had to walk for a day and a half to get there...


the kitchen...


oxerbing (observing)... hehehehe.... nakakaduling na yan after looking through the scope the whole day...


daming trees...


kaya tinawag na forest....

we surveyed for philippine eagles in two sites in dinapigue, isabela. like i said earlier, we had to walk for a day and a half to get to our first camp site. i didn't post pictures of our second camp site. you've seen one, you've seen them all. inabutan kami ni bagyong frank while we were in our first site, but it's all good.

the second site was easy to get to. we rode a logging truck. what an experience! it's like riding a roller coaster with out all the safety precautions. then from the drop off, our camp was not more than an hour's walk.

i had fun in sierra madre. i just absolutely love it there!! i have discovered my new favorite foods there - fern, eel, freshwater shrimps and deer tapa (bad! bad! hehehe).

i went home with a gazillion pimples, a gazillion rashes from my allergy, and a gazillion cuts and wounds. but it was all worth it and i'd do it all again in a heartbeat!

I LOVE SIERRA MADRE!!!!
