Deok Soon led our group to Yangmasan. That is an easy hike around Jinyang Lake. We started at the Jinyang Lake lookout.

I've been to the lookout before, but not around the lake.
These boats are used to travel to a little lake on the other side of the reservoir. At one point there was a town by the little lake, but it is no more since the reservoir is the town's water supply. Family members (Deok Soon's husband is one) may take those boats to go visit family graves.
These leaves are amazing.
This man Nam In Soo was a famous Korean singer in the 50s, who was born in Jinju.
We decided we all speak the same musical language.
A memorial for a man's dog. I think the man was some type of a big contributor to Jinyang park.
The last park of the hike was up the Wishing Stairs. Rumor has it that you get one wish realized when you climb the 365 stairs to the top.
A group pic at the bottom, in case not all of us made it back up.
At least there were stunning autumn leaves on the climb up for our viewing pleasure.
About half way up.
We all made it!
Back to where we started. I love the way the mountains just keep going and going in the background.
This time we went to a Chinese restaurant. We cut our noodles with scissors so we could pick them up with our chopsticks. My hands were so tired when I was done eating!
