My Frist Camping experience at Guintubdan, La Carlota (3 days and 2 nights)

This was my first camping trip at Guintubdan, La Carlota. We spent 3 days and 2 nights. Trekking from spring to abaga falls and to oro falls. After the trek, I spent my nights having a fever, my body was aching, and just curling not to feel cold. But I'm thankful i have recovered in that very morning with a little cold, sneezing, but still manage to swim in the spring.
