To kill some restlessness and jitters last week, my brother and I decided to make the trek up Humbug Mountain. Humbug is part of the state park about 7 miles south of Port Orford. The mountain is notorious for its steep trail to the summit which is a killer both going up and coming down. We started out in the cold and dreary day.
As we started up the trail we were taken by surprise by the out of this world misty fog and beauty.
Environment so lush and ripe that every inch of ground is taken up by ferns, trees and plants. So fertile and untouched you expect to see saplings shoot up and grow before your very eyes.
Imagine a real life Jumanji and this is what you will see. So rich and vibrant it is only magnified by the fog and drizzle. Lucky for us the trees provided such good coverage we barely go damp.
By the time you reach the top your legs are like jello and the descent isn't much better for bad knees like my own, but it is all worth it in the end. Mission kill anxiety? Complete.
