Cont.....So we're heading downward now, ON cement, felt SOOOOOOOOOOO good on the joints!! You want paint go downhill on cement for an hour! Holy schnikee!! Now, Dave, our hike guide has not been on this hike for 14 years, so we don't know what to expect!! For the FIRST part of the hike he only had to ask clarification TWICE!! IT was pretty amazing!!:) The first time was checking if we were heading towards St. George's College, OUR FIRST CHECKPOINT!! Oh we were!! IN FACT, the students he was asking showed us a shortcut!! Took 5 minutes off our time, no big deal we know people!!:) We head down the road and into this mini bazaar and sure enough, past the random cow in the road (seen on facebook) was St. George's College!!! MADE THE FIRST CHECKPOINT!! It was 8:04am at this point!! We past SGC and right away we look up and see this REALLY COOL bridge!! It literally came out of Indiana Jones!!!:) Totally wanted to cross that, but we were on a time schedule, so NO time there!! We continued downhill on MORE cement, the knees were kind of feeling it at this point!!;) On our way to the nature trail (2nd part of the hike) we passed this really cute elementary school!! All the kids came out and said hello, it was awesome!! HOWEVER, the teacher did not think it was so awesome!! Being teachers we should have known better, BUT COME ON they were adorable and pretty much we'll never have that chance AGAIN!! Unnnnnnnnntil we hike to Rajpur another day!!;) So we quickly apologized to the teacher and continued walking!!!:) About 10 minutes after that we made it to THE NATURE part of our hike!! The old old British trail used by the British for the British to get to Dehradun way back when!! THE ONLY road at that time!!:) Nature trail continued......
