Megs In Soko: I'm Outdoorsy

Ok, so anyone reading that title probably immediately laughed. I may be athletic, but I am certainly not outdoorsy. But, since hiking is like a national pastime of Korea, I figured I would join in on the action and get some awesome views along the way. Or at least I thought I would....

Unfortunately, it was super foggy the day that a couple of friends and I set off with an Adventure Korea group to hike Mt. Daedun, so the view was rather limited. Couple that with a little mix of rain/snow and it made for some treacherous conditions for this non-hiker. There was even some snow still left over on the ground near the top. My NIKEs were not really equipped for the rugged terrain, but none the less, I made it up and down the mountain in one piece and despite the stubborn weather along the way, I got some good pics. The Koreans are champs though...I saw several couples having little picnics on the side of the mountain and then when we were near there top, there was a little "restaurant" where tons of Koreans were taking shots of Soju. Now hiking alone was enough of a task for me; there was no way I was going to get drunk and hike. (You're welcome Mom & Dad.) I did stop long enough for a couple of Koreans to get a pic with me...too bad none of them took one with my camera. I was really glad I decided to be outdoorsy, but was really glad to get home, have a warm shower and get in my own bed...which was the last night it was going to be my own for a week. The next day, Kel & Ker arrived in SoKo and we shared my bed for the duration of the trip!!
