Well October started with a practice hike. Troops for trash on the 1oth was a hike through the park picking up liter. About 25 people on the hike, it was pretty fun. Several good sites and up the hill the Koreans have work out equipment to exercise while exercising. The 17th went on a beginner/intermediate hike through the Obong Mtns. 5 peaks and 4 hours of rock climbing. We descending down cliffs with only ropes and climbed vertical peaks. The views were awesome but you earned each view. 90% of the group was confused about the level of difficulty. Several of the rock faces we descended made us think there should have been a class before the hike. At several points we had no path and no guide. One time we got off the rock-face and couldn't see the path. Shouted at the guide (lft or rt?). He said straight. We doubted him so we waited. Two more people got there and they asked and he said straight again. So I took 1 step and fell 20 feet. My friend tried to grab me but instead sent a 8" rock down on me. I ended up meeting them down the path later. They were joking how I screamed "not this way" as I slide out of sight. The rock only hit my shine so only bruises. Some of the paths down had no rope and no foot holds. You shimmied down the crevice by bracing between two rock cliffs. Also some of the path just had a narrow rock to walk along and a 80m drop off one side. I didn't feel very safe and think it is a one time trip for me. I can remove Rock climbing off my bucket list. By the end of the hike my friend Eve's and my legs were quivering from exhaustion. Beautiful views of the fall color, cliffs, and the stream/waterfall...but ouchie!

I plan to update more often in a couple weeks. My work has been crasy here working 12s. The flowers are just starting to bloom so it caught my attention from the drab winter.
