| The Rock Fortress |
Whenever I drive from Mambajao to Sagay via Catarman, these rock formation beside the circumferential road between Bonbon and Catibac always invites me to stop and rest a while.
And who wouldn't? The sea is calming, the area is peaceful. Someone even built a bench here. Perhaps he thought of the motorcycle riders who needs to a break.

I've made it a habit recently to sit here. While i sat there, I often wonder what could have caused the rock formation. My theory is that these rocks got spewed by Mt. Hibok-Hibok when it erupted last 1948. But who know really?
Whatever the reason for its creation, it's a sight to behold. When I think about it, what's so special about rocks? They're just rocks.
However, considering the types of rocks we have in our seashore, they're really quite special. Our seashore is overwhelmed with small rocks smoothed by seawaves. Big rock formation such as these are uncommon.
A few years from now, the waves of the sea will claim these rocks and the rock fortress will be no more.
But before that happens, I wanna go down the cliff and experience these rocks, not just appreciate them from afar. Too bad I drive alone. I don't want to go down there by myself. Someday I'll find someone to go down there with. A little swim wouldn't hurt as well.

If you ever come to Camiguin, don't forget to drop by the Rock Fortress before it's gone.
