Yehey! League Of Summiteers and Trailblazers or L.O.S.T. for short is now on it’s 3rd year founding anniversary though members may come and go it will gonna last forever and ever!
It’s time to celebrate our group’s glory, bond one more time and climb Paniquian – Tarak in Mariveles, Bataan this day September 15-16, 2012.
As we goes 3 and after a year of no climb for me though you can see me joining trail or mountain runs it’s time for me to get back as a hiker and climb mountains which I love most. All I want is to visit different places on foot in the Philippines, explore the beauty of our Mother Nature and get closer to the God‘s creation and the same time bond with my outdoor family and friends and at the same time take a break from the stress of work, unwind and avoid the noise, pollution and traffic at the Metro. I’m a proud L.O.S.T. Mountaineer founding member and active member. Let’s go, celebrate and get LOST!
