The beauty of Granite Falls

Autumn is setting in. Mornings are cold and foggy, it's raining most of the time and days are getting darker by the minute. Still you decide to battle this gloomy atmosphere and start planning a week-end away from home to escape the buzzing city. THIS is where I come into action! Hi everyone, Malik here with the latest recommendations for fun adventures around the globe. Today, I'm taking you with me to Granite Falls for a late autumn outing.

Granite Falls is known for its wild landscape, its verdant flora and its calming and rejuvenating atmosphere. It is one of the preferred destinations for mushroom hunters in early autumn, but there are many other things to do around here later in the season.

We are starting out little trip around by stopping at Grandpa' Joe's, the diner all locals swear by. A little recluse and away from more touristic spots, this is were you'll find Granite Falls' most authentic food and drinks. The diner's run by Joe and his wife Lila, who founded the restaurant before they were even grandparents! You won't be seeing Joe around much, but Lila will greet you with open arms and a mama bear attitude. She's also the one in charge of all the cooking, and you absolutely have to try her speciality, the camper's stew, made with fresh seasonal vegetables and game hunted by grandpa Joe himself! The locals here can be a bit gruff, but they'll make you their own after just a couple drinks and a game of darts (remember to drink with moderation!).

As I stopped for a hearty breakfast and engaged a jovial conversations, one of the locals recommended me his own cabin that he rents out for travellers. Located not too far from the town center, it is a small, cosy place close to all the good hiking trails. It has a small fireplace and rustic appliances in the kitchen, and can fit up to two adults in the bedroom adjacent. It is the perfect lodging for a couple looking for an adventure but not yet ready for the great outdoors.

Now, you all know me, I like a good challenge, so I obviously declined, and asked for a more... adventurous option. That's when they told me of a small campsite lost in the forest, about nine miles away from here. Only the true nature enthusiasts dared set up camp there, so I HAD to go and check it out. After a few more jokes and having refused numerous attempts at making me drink the local pine liquor (it was still morning after all!), I set out to find this mysterious campsite. What I found on the way was absolutely breathtaking. 

Vivid autumnal colours were coming to life around me as I walked through the dense forest: the yellow of birches, the red of maple trees, the orange of barberry shrubs, all splashing against the deep green of the pines. The sounds of bird calls above me was ever present, signalling the preparations for departure of the migratory types. The ground was soft with dead leaves and I could spot mushrooms, both edible and toxic, all around me. Immersed in this magical atmosphere, I soon reached my destination, and what I saw there got my adventurer's senses tingling: a small camping ground, nestled between fallen tree, was standing before me with just the simplest of amenities in view. A couple people seemed to have set camp here already, but no one was in sight.

The place proved to be the perfect hide-out and allowed me to enjoy far more of the nature around than what I could have had I stayed closer to the town center. I even managed to find a morel mushroom spot and had some for dinner that same night! (Remember, when in doubt, take your wild mushrooms to your pharmacist, they'll be able to identify them for you.)

After having spent the rest of my day walking around and enjoying the trails up and down the ravines, I prepared myself for a fresh evening in my tent, but not before taking the time to admire the incredible night sky from a clearing close-by. The area being devoid of light pollution allowed the stars to shine bright in the night and offer an extraordinary sight that seemed to have come right out of a fairy tale. With images of the glittery sky filling my head, I quickly fell asleep, enjoying a great night sleep in the fresh and quiet autumn air.

The peace was broken in the early hours of the morning by an incredibly loud noise: a stag, hidden in the forest, belling to his heart's content. I couldn't find him due to the heavy morning fog surrounding the camp, but those hoarse cries will forever stay with me. Now fully awake, I started preparing for my second and last day here in Granite Falls.

I decided to take a longer trail back to town to see a little more of the place before leaving. The one I chose was more difficult than the path I took on my way up, and I would advise on walking this one only if you have experience hiking in forest and mountain areas.

The path quickly rose up until it reach a plateau above a precipice, giving a clear view of the valley under with its wild nature seemingly never ending. After a couple hours and as the path slowly came to a soft slope, I spotted a little track on the side. Intrigued, I followed and after about ten minutes of going farther into the forest, I stumbled upon a little lake, hidden from the main trails around here. I learned later that this place was mostly used by the locals, with parents and children having set it up to enjoy the fresh water in the summer months. Right now though, the only ones enjoying the place were herons and wild ducks, taking a little dip before leaving on their journey south.

After taking a quick lunch break near the water, I set out again for the last leg of my descent. The way after the lake was the most difficult, with terrain feeling more like stairs rather than a smooth slope, and I was pretty sweaty when I finally reached town again.

It was time for me to go and leave Granite Falls, but not without stopping by Grandpa Joe's for a piece of home-made pie, a great reward after all that walking! I bid farewell to the locals and left, tired of my day but with memories I will not forget.

If you ever need more information to prepare you travel to Granite Falls, you can get in contact with the local rangers' office (all contact info can be found on their website: ganitefalls-rangers.sim.gov). You can also pay them a visit when you arrive in town, they will give you advice on what trails are best for your abilities and give you other recommendations for your stay there.

Have a nice one, and see you next time!

Pakistan’s Babar Azam in T20I

When Babar Azam takes the field on Friday, 14 April for the match against New Zealand, he will become the third Pakistan player to feature in 100 Men's T20Is

Shoaib Malik (123) and Mohammad Hafeez (119) are the two other Pakistan players to reach this milestone in men's T20Is.

The level-headed Pakistan captain is well known for his flamboyant batting style and along with Mohammad Rizwan forms an intimidating opening pair in T20Is.

As we celebrate his 100 T20Is, let's have a look at some of Babar's top innings in the format.

122 off 59 v South Africa, Centurion, 2021 — Babar and Rizwan are a force to reckon with. While Rizwan plays the role of an aggressor more often, there have been times when Babar has blown away the opposition with his explosive shots. The third T20I against South Africa in 2021 was one such example.

Chasing a formidable 204, Babar took the lead almost right from the start. After taking a couple of overs to adjust, he started pummelling the bowlers all over the park. His 50 came in just 27 balls and he accelerated after that with aplomb. He ended up with 122 off just 59 deliveries but unfortunately was dismissed with Pakistan needing just 7 to win, nevertheless having brought his side to the brink of victory. Pakistan then chased the total with two overs to spare. It was also Babar's first century in the format.

110* off 66 v England, Karachi, 2022 — Babar's second T20I century was no less impressive and this time it came at home. After losing the first T20I, Pakistan needed to hit back. England batted first and scored 199/5. Chasing another 200 score was not going to be easy but both Babar and Rizwan were in a different mood altogether. Babar, in particular, led the charge, smashing 110* off just 66 deliveries as Pakistan registered a 10-wicket victory over England. It was Babar who hit the winning runs, an inside-out four through covers celebrating a dominating win.

97* off 58 v West Indies, Karachi, 2018 — Babar's first Karachi masterclass came in 2018, four years before his hundred; an almost century innings against West Indies at home. Batting first, Pakistan lost Fakhar Zaman early, who had opened the innings with Babar. The 24-year-old Babar Azam had only hit three fifty-plus scores in his career then and came close to scaling three figures when he took on the Windies bowling attack single-handedly. Pairing with Hussain Talat at No.3, Babar hit 13 fours and a six on his way to 97* off 58 deliveries. Pakistan put up a huge total of 205/3 and defended it easily with their strong bowling attack.

79* off 53 v New Zealand, Christchurch, 2022 — Babar's 79* was not in an high-scoring encounter but a low-scoring chase against New Zealand's celebrated bowling attack in their own backyard. The Pakistan bowlers had done their job keeping the Black Caps down to 147/8 in their 20 overs. But the hosts were not going down without a fight. They removed Rizwan early and crippled Pakistan further with a second wicket, leaving them at 37/2 in the sixth over. But Babar kept going. He rebuilt the Pakistan innings, first patiently stabilizing them, then pouncing on the bad balls to put them away. He formed crucial partnerships with the middle order and though New Zealand got a couple of more wickets, they had no answer to Babar. The Pakistan captain remained not out as the visitors claimed a six-wicket victory in the 19th over.

68* off 52 v India, Dubai, 2021 — The famous ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 match. While there were many heroes in the game, Babar's contribution to it cannot be forgotten. After India were restricted to 151/7, Pakistan went all out with the bat to bamboozle the Indian bowlers. Rizwan was sensational and Babar played the perfect fiddle for him. Both batters complemented each other and pummelled the Indian attack without any rest. Babar hit the winning runs helping Pakistan to their first victory over India in the history of the tournament.

Top five T20I knocks in honor of Babar Azam

Babar Azam will make history when he enters the field on Friday, April 14, against New Zealand as the third Pakistani player to appear in 100 Men's T20Is.

The only two Pakistani players to accomplish this mark in men's T20Is are Shoaib Malik (123) and Mohammad Hafeez (119).

The cool-headed Pakistan captain and Mohammad Rizwan make for a formidable opening tandem in Twenty20 Internationals.

In honor of Babar's 100th T20I appearance, here are a few of his most impressive knocks in the format.

122 off 59 vs. South Africa, Centurion, 2021

The duo of Babar and Rizwan is formidable. Although Rizwan often takes the lead in initiating conflict, Babar has occasionally blasted away the opponent with his devastating shots. One such match was the third Twenty20 International against South Africa in 2021.

Babar, who had to beat a challenging 204, started ahead. After needing a few overs to settle in, he began wreaking havoc on the bowlers. His fifty came off of only 27 balls, and he kept on charging with ease. He scored 122 runs off 59 balls, bringing his team to the cusp of victory before being removed with 7 runs still needed. Then, with two overs to spare, Pakistan was able to chase down the target. Also, this was Babar's first century ever.

110* off 66 vs. England, Karachi, 2022

This was Babar's second T20I century, and it was just as remarkable as the first. Pakistan needed to respond after losing the first Twenty20 International. In their first innings, England scored 199 runs. Babar and Rizwan were in a different mindset, and they were going to have to work hard to beat their previous 200 scores. Pakistan defeated England by 10 wickets with Babar's help. He scored 110* from 66 deliveries. Babar knocked in the winning runs with an inside-out four through the covers, capping off a decisive victory.

97* off 58 vs. West Indies, Karachi, 2018

In 2018, four years before he scored a hundred, Babar played a superb inning at home against the West Indies that nearly reached that mark. Fakhar Zaman, who had begun the innings for Pakistan with Babar, was dismissed in the opening over. Babar Azam, then 24 years old, nearly reached triple digits while facing the Windies bowling attack alone. He had previously only scored three fifty-plus scores in his career. Babar, batting third with Hussain Talat, faced 58 balls and made 97 (not out) off them by hitting 13 fours and a six. Pakistan scored an impressive 205/3 and successfully defended their total with their formidable bowling assault.

79* off 53 vs. New Zealand, Christchurch, 2022

Babar's 79* came in a low-scoring chase against New Zealand's legendary bowling assault on their home turf. After 20 overs, Pakistan's bowlers had successfully limited the Black Caps to 147 for 8. Yet, the hosts did not surrender without a struggle. They took the crucial early wicket of Rizwan, reducing Pakistan to 37/2 in the sixth over. But Babar did not stop. He carefully stabilized the Pakistani batting, then pounced on poor balls to finish the game. Even though New Zealand took a few more wickets, they were helpless against Babar's partnerships with the middle order. As the visitors won by six wickets in the 19th over, the Pakistan skipper remained not out.

68* off 52 vs. India, Dubai, 2021

This is the 2021 Men's ICC T20 World Cup game. Babar was one of many heroes, yet his efforts always stood out. Once India's score was reduced to 151/7, Pakistan's batting effort was magnified to confuse the Indian bowlers. Babar complemented Rizwan's incredible performance perfectly on violin. The two hitters worked well together and relentlessly pounded the Indian defense. Babar's game-winning hits, including some that drew significant attention for online cricket betting, led Pakistan to their first victory over India in the tournament's history.
