Overnight at Jungle Base

At the time, this trip consisted of the most modified and the most box-stock Suzuki Vitara 4x4 of 4x4 Philippines <www.4x4ph.com>

Oct. 12, 2003 -- The week before this date the family went to Jungle Base for some R&R and to give a couple of my sisters a taste of 4-wheeling, and reported on our trip at the forums.

After reading my post, Wiretap_MD from www.4x4ph.com kept on bugging me to go back to Jungle Base with him as he had some free time on these dates. Since he''ll be coming from Batangas he won't be back in Manila 'til around 4PM so I suggested we stay overnight.

After having my right CV boot replaced (got torn the week before) and repacked the day before, we rendezvoused with Wiretap_MD at McDonald's Katipunan at 5PM.

We arrived at Jungle Base around 8:30PM (we took the trail slowly as my wife was pregnant then to our youngest)

After dinner we prepared for bath and bed, and we are grateful to Tito Clemente for having their people hurriedly put a temporary cogon roof over the loft where we will be staying...

Zzzz...

Oct. 13, 2003: 1AM -- I awoke with Wiretap_MD mumbling something, and I then realized it was drizzling and the temporary roof didn't cover the whole loft so we were still getting wet. We immediately transferred to the main area of the hut, right under the loft.

6AM -- we awoke as Wolf Den (from 4x4 Philippines) was just coming back to check on us, and to bring us coffee... and we realized it had rained hard as we were sleeping.

We then spent the whole day just relaxing by the Daraitan river in Jungle Base. Wiretap_MD left just before lunch and I realize he just went there to get a fix of 4x4 offroading while he had some free time.

Here are a few pics.

Wiretap_MD: Let's do that again, sometime! :)
