Seonunsan Provincial Park and Temple

Well I decided since this was probably the last SLOW weekend in Korea I was going to do hike.. I wasn't sure if I was going to to but on of the Lt's from programs flight said he had signed up so I went with him. It turned out to be a great trip. Even though it was raining off and on, man it fealt good after some of those dam climbs..I will say if the sun was out ALL day, it would have been a VERY BRUTAL hike, so who ever wished for a rainy overcast, drizzly day.. THANK YOU...LOL

Ok, how did it go.. One person went back to the bus not more than 20 min for because they were dehydrated or something, not sure exactly, they were behind and below us on the first climb so we never new until later who it was or what happend. No other injuries happend (i think) except for ME..LOL.. In the photo album

What do I mean..Well here is this photo you can see a NICE tall stair way to the little peak.. They gave us an options to go check it out so the Lt and I did..It was a nice LONG climb and we joked before coming down that we may do it on our butts.. well about 1/2 way down, without even fooling around my foot slipped (it had just started raining a bit again, and these were METAL stairs) so down I go.. Fast and straight..Now it would have been fine all except for the little old Korean guy about 15 steps from the bottom that I was GAINING on quickly..LOL So as I am FLYING down these metal steps on my ass, I get to him and grab him like I am giving him a hug (actually saving his life, because he was about to PLOWED). Well as I grabbed for him and turned slightly, my leg went into one of the side rails and stopped me..Luckily it was the LARGE part of my leg, had it been my lower leg, it probably would have snapped in 1/2..So I am going to have some bruises and and a sore hip but I will make it (I think)...

So feel free to check out the photos in the album I listed above...

Enjoy...
