The Drive To Mt. Linabo

It was Good Friday. The idea to climb to the 3003 steps to Linabo Peak just popped in my head at the last minute. I asked Cheep to climb with me since we weren't able to climb on the Holy Thursday, which she agreed. Pabz and Cheem, who climbed already on the Holy Thursday excitedly went to climb with us too. Darn, weren't they tired?

So all four of us got ourselves and our two bikes (mine and Cheem's) ready. We left the apartment around 2:00pm. We were all excited. There we drove down the center city to look for a gas station. Cheem's bike, which I was driving that day with Cheem was out of gas. Pabz on the other hand drove mine with Cheep. It was a bit chaotic search for a gas station for there wasn't one gas station opened that day. Every single station is closed even the stores. Darn again! Where could we find gas and where could we find a store to buy foods to bring along our climb? Good thing, there was this sidewalk stall we saw selling bottled gasoline as we headed out Dipolog City to Turno. The foods? We bought enough at Quick Pick, good thing it was opened. Thanks to the owner Kevin for opening his store on the Good Friday or else we'll be buying foods at the stores in Linabo with doubled prices!

Anyway, we headed to our drive to Mt. Linabo. It was a smooth drive halfway there for the road, although hilly and zigzag, was concrete.


Entering Mt. Linabo. Zigzag, a bit hilly, and rocky roads awaited. The banner says "Katkat Sakripisyo" or "Sacrifice Climb".
