\n“To make it clear across this country, South Korea, on foot”<\/em>\u00a0was the goal\u00a0(see\u00a0post-146<\/a>). A cross-country mountain hiking trail called the “Baekdu-Daegan” was the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I began walking from Jungsan-ri [\uc911\uc0b0\ub9ac) on Tuesday, September 17th at about 7:20 AM.

It really does look like that, at the right time of day. An Google-Image search for “Jirisan”<\/a>\u00a0yields many more.<\/p>\n

It’s now 9:00 AM on Tuesday, October 1st, or two weeks almost to the hour after my trip began. I am now in a town called Hamyang, a ways north of the Jiri Mountains.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
