Back to Mount Gede

Last week I went back hiking to Mount Gede via Gunung Putri route. Arrived at Gunung Putri after midnight, we spent the night at Pak Jalaludin's house. Saturday morning (5/5), we began hiking. This time i joined the team KPAWW Jakarta. The weather was nice although rather cloudy near 12 am. The path leading to old information house had been cleared from bushes, and the park management also had built stairways to help hikers. Feeling sad after found that the new Pos 1 now was in ruins. Someone stolen the roof so now we could not stay at that post. After six hours we reached the west part of Lembah Suryakencana. We made camps at the usual site, near the waterhole. That night the moon was looked bigger as it was a supermoon. But i didn't take pictures as it was quite cold outside and prefer spent the night inside the tent. Sunday morning, we had breakfast then broke camps. Hiking down to Gunung Putri again, we got soaked by heavy rain which falling after we passed Pos 3. The rain stopped after near 3pm.
