Road March


So today was a cold, windy rainiy day in Korea. What better weather to strap on all your battle rattle a 30lb rucksack and go for a big long hike up the mountain near our base. And that is exactly what we did. Our plan was to walk up a mountain to a heli-pad. And that's what we did. It was definatly a doosey, of of the four of us that started only 2 of us actually made it to the objective, but it was a good hike for everyone. Since the path was 90% up hill, through thick forest we kinda got a little lost, but luckily this yankee knows enough Korean to ask where a helipad is and understand the instructions. Also, the scenery was amazing. It was a little foggy going up, especially with the rain. So it's hard to apreciate the beauty of the fall colors with my pictures, but I'll go back up there someday when it's clear and get some more pics. Hope everyone is safe and dry back home.

Heres some pics:
