Due to so many factors, including holidays, Eli's bday, others' injuries, and corona virus, I have not been hiking with the International Ladies since December. It was a good day back!
After taking the dogs for their morning potty walk, I was secretly hoping someone in their right mind would say it was too cold to hike and call it off. The temps were a few degrees negative celsius. But no one did, so I figured if they could stand the cold, so could I. Turned out it wasn't too bad out there and it warmed up as the day went on.
We hiked Jangdaesan, which is on the north side of Jinju. The mountains are not nearly as picturesque when the trees are bare, but it was still nice to be out, and the company was great. Our group was small, with 2 Koreans, 2 Filipinos, one Dane, one American, and 2 American dogs.
Ming was a good Chuey walker.
This is Waryong Mountain that we hiked one other time. It's the highest in this area and easy to spot from afar.
Lunch break.
We made it to the top!
When you can't see the trees through the bamboo forest.
It was for the famous singer Nam In Soo that we found on another hike this fall. Here is a picture to remind you:
Probably the reason he liked this mountain in particular was because his family has a very large burial plot at the bottom.
This is his grave.
It's a little more special than the rest of the family.
The graves started in the 1600s.
We came across this little yard on the way to the car. Those are kimchee pots in the yard. Ming said they probably make kimchee and soy sauce in them, right out there in the yard.
