I woke up early morning went outside and it was sunny weekend. Weather is fine to do outdoor activities. After breakfast, packed a bottled water and visited my cousin to ask him accompany to climb uphill for some interesting activity and also to visit the new cell site built on our land. It is about 500 meters or more above see level. It took one hour to reach the top.
The view from the top is spectacular.
Rice fields and mountain ranges can be viewed from the top. Cabicungan River adds up the view as it is a snake that stretched along the middle of the field and at the base of the mountain dividing Cagayan and Apayao provinces.
Cabicungan River is a hydro-graphic stream located in Claveria, Cagayan. It stretches and dumps the fresh water to Claveria Bay. People living near the river are fishermen and mostly farmers. The stream serves as an irrigation to the rice fields. Also, it is a great place to have picnics especially during the summer.
After climbing, I invited my cousins, who are on vacation to go there and feel the fresh and cold water of the stream. We enjoyed swimming. You can see children on the river swimming too! You can also see carabaos and cows who are taking a plunge. Some are there cleaning up their tricycles and cars.
Cabicungan River has been a part of my life ever since I was a child. It is a good thing that even up to now it is still free from pollution and its still a big help for the people living nearby the river.
