二子山苦行記

        二子山的溫泉河總是令人著迷,包含峻麗峽谷風光.
        已知今年河床路不再通,便計劃步行溯溪前往,這是今年的第三趟,相較前兩次開車抵達營地,可真的是苦行 之路.
        達管制哨確定路只開3k,剩下的路約8k,員警告知輕裝最快約3小時半,然而此行六人背負重裝也有心理準備.
        近中午備好裝備即開始上溯,約1/2前半路況尚可,峽谷前溯溪3~4次,並經高巨石進入峽谷,偶而攀石上下切,背著裝備頗為吃力,繩索扣環為不可或缺的基本裝備,由於溪流仍湍急且局部及大腿,此繩索確保工作極為小心.
        近四個半小時終抵達溫泉區,營地跟年初來時差不多,但上層池水已乾枯,泉源仍豐沛,溫泉流入旁邊被河水沖掉的河床面,相對的營地也縮減不少,但慶幸水溫極佳,泡起來仍絕爽快,尤其歷經這段艱苦路程.
        來二子山已近十趟,往往都是開著車進入,這次溯溪前往別有一份不同的體會與認識,辛苦談不上,但這是一次很深刻的回憶與經歷!

This is where we stayed on Friday night, used to be a school, 

now a gathering place for aboriginees' ceremonies or meetings.

舊學校, 現在原住民的集合場所, 後方為重新裝修過的老戲院. (萬榮) 

This used to be a stage where principle preached the students, we slept right on it with lots of stuff villagers stored there. 

舊時學校的司令台, 想像以前校長站在台上訓話的威風, 我們卻在上面展開三個行軍床呼呼大睡, 過癮!

Looking in the valley after a short stop by the controling station, the weather just couldn't be more perfect!

Setting off for the BIG hike - 4 guys plus 2 beauties and 3 super powerful jeeps!

出發挑戰極限! (其時尚在做著只走半小時的春秋大夢, 腳步輕盈也!)

The Blue + Green Symphony! 藍與綠的二重奏

Every summer after typhoons, the river bed got flooded with huge rocks brushed down from mountains nearby. 

The photo shows an empty flag and a roof of mountain hut which was deeply buried underneath.

This is the scary "Trouble Water" and extensive river bed, we had to cross the rush stream several times on the 8K hike. 

寬闊的河床上湍急的水流 - 早期一首老歌 "惡水上的大橋"的惡水二字堪差形容之!

Most of path is like this, rocky, rocky, rocky! 除了石頭路還是石頭路......

Numerous rocks piled up like a small hill to test our rock climbing skill!

石頭路不夠刺激, 石頭山比較夠看!

前來二子山一定要有最基本的溯溪裝備
