Location
348 meters below sea level. The desert near Kalya, Israel less than 10 km from the Dead Sea.
Participants
Plans
At 7 AM the 444 bus leaves the Jerusalem Central Bus Station to Eilat. It will stop in Kalya and from there will be a hopefully short two kilometer hike.
Expedition
I was on the right bus at 7 AM but I got off a stop early at Kalya Beach rather than at Kalya Junction. That turned my hike from two kilometers to the point to four/five kilometers to the point. There was no way I was waiting for a hitch on highway 90 to go to Kalya because it was just as easy to walk to the hash point. The hike was through several different date palm groves and quite sandy. The farmers seemed cool with my presence.
After I passed the date palm groves and I arrived at a field of sand dunes which were quite close to the hashpoint and I did a successful slow wander to get a proper GPS signal to find the exact hashpoint.
From there, there was a cool trail from Kalya to Almog which went through Nahal Og which when it rains is like a river/deadly flood but now was quite empty.
As usual, I hitched home with a nice girl from Pisgat Ze'ev Jerusalem who was more interesting to talk with than the swearing truck driver from my last trip.
