Finally found a different way down from the 3rd cross thanks to a bunch of 20 year olds we met on the trail this time. Nice to see some different scenery. Check out the BLOG!

View of San Jose from the 3rd cross. One of the girls from the group we met said that during holy week, that flat spot down there is packed with people camping.

The “muy loco” local that climbed to the top of the 3rd cross

The gang from Outward Bound and Young Life that knew where the other path down the mountain was.

Glad we followed them down because there was no obvious path here

IMG_0382

It’s just straight down this field, glad we had the bamboo poles for support

In the middle of nowhere

Damm glad we had our poles because this was STEEP!

Our new friends! Noitce you still can’t see any river from here and it looks like the path just ends beyond that tree down there.

Yeah, that’s what we just came down

Still going down and still no sign of the river

It does exist and it’s nice and cold. Really didn’t want to put my boots back on after this.

Rest and snack time…the group we were with were the ones on the left and the girl in the green shirt.

Lots of locals out enjoying the day
