It’s as good a time as any to reveal that I plan to hike across South Korea, from south-central to northeast.<\/p>\n

It will take<\/span> seven to eight weeks. I begin on September 16th. I doubt there will be many, if any, updates in those weeks<\/span>. The trail is called, in Korean, “Baekdu-Daegan”. It’s sort of a Korean “Appalachian Trail”<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Here is a wall map on which I plotted out the approximate course. <\/p><\/div>\n

It’s rural: I’ll camp overnight. It’ll be a kind of “practice run” for the hike. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
