Summer Fun in S.Korea....

Well, it has been about a month since the last time I kayaked. Still not much rain, but "they" say it's on the way. Summer has been enjoyable so far. The temps have been comfortable, however now the humidity and heat is setting in......




This is the put-in bridge on the Naerichon. As you can see the water is very low. The water temp was perfect. It's going to be great to kayak in warm water this summer.



Here we go....not many action photos, but it was still fun!!



Me and Mandu....hanging out, taking a break.



Time to eat some lunch. Menu...Cup of Spicy Ramen. We spent about 5 hrs on the river and the Ramen tasted delicious.



Getting towards the bottom...



Havin' a good old time!



Beautiful area....the mountain sides are becoming very lush....



check out the shrimp on the BBQ, too bad I am allergic....



A watermelon, a few beers, and a few bottles of SOJU....



The Outdoor Family compound. Relaxing before some kayaking....



I can eat this.....pigs feet meat.....



And some dried squid....



I passed on the cow stomach and blood soup.....not my flavor! I tried it once...



telling stories and enjoying the night....



Thinking of Scott Young here....check out the Riot Magnum (model of Kayak) I believe the only one in S.Korea....Still waiting for the rain to explore some creeks....I am ready after constantly checking www.mountainbuzz.com every day at work....as I am missing one of the best seasons in Colorado.....



Mr. Park of the Seongnam Kayak School surfing in his new Jackson AllStar!



Check out the cigarette....a common site among the Korean paddlers.....this guy fits the Riot Magnum well....!



Packing up after 1 night and 2 days in the mountains of Gang-Wan-Do....Time to head back to the city....



On the way home we stopped to get some ice cream....and noticed this interesting wooden figure....



Egret hanging out in the Tanchon....Wildlife in the city.....






Well, some rain has arrived...it rained all night and all day, this is right down the street from my villa. Some workers are closing down the bridge....the water was bank to bank and about to spill over.....YAHOO!



That's all folks.....Until next time......ENJOY SUMMER!!!
