The First National Jamboree was held in Cibubur, Jakarta in 1973 and I was joyful to be part of the pioneer event. My both parents dedicated their time as volunteer and involved as medical officer for the affair. I was three years old at that time. Not much that could be born in mind except it was raining that soaked the camp site for weeks. Since then, outdoor activities became routine schedule especially when school was off.
Fourteen years later, in the month of July 1987, we conquered the highest point of Mount Lawu with the altitude of 3265 m above mean water level. The mount is located at the border of province of Central Java and East Java. As I clearly had down pat, we rose from Cemoro Sewu at 9:30pm and made five stops before we reached, as a final point, the summit at 4:00am. It took us almost six hours walking included some rests.
That was the first time in my life (at young age) was able witnessing sun comes out from its imaginative horizon. I stood up at the highest peak and could see plain sun got higher and higher without any obstacle that blocks my view. What an amazing landscape!
