Another new river in S.Korea.....

Driving Northeast of Seoul....on our way to a new river..YAHOO!!



Beautiful day ahead.....Nice to be back in the mountains......
It rained heavily two days ago, yesterday some of the Koreans kayaked the run, but it was very high and they had an epic. Unfortunately, I had to cover for Gomi at work so I missed out on the carnage fest!



A damn in the distance releasing some water.....The guardrail kinda blocked the view.....



Hanging out at a breakfast spot. Watching the Olympic Marathon....



Ahhh....wish I had my bike here for some touring of Korea....a few riders taking a break!



Checking out the map and figuring out where we are heading. Luca found a detailed Road Atlas in English, so he also picked up one for me. Definitely marking the goods for future reference...



Side creek coming into our river...



Looking at the entrance of a juicy rapid....two large holes......and a scary looking wall....next time!



Luca making a seal launch...



At this level....there are some fun play spots.....I guess yesterday they had double the water!?!



Kookin going for a move!



Luca making a nice pillow move.....



Snack station.....





time to dig in!



Brad (Korean) saying.....Did you see my move on that last rapid?!?






Bundaggi (Silk worm larva) and hard boiled eggs....






Luca thinking about the last section......and what's to come!



Luca making the line to avoid a beat down!



Time to play.....a few spectators up by the road in the background...



trying to make some moves....all those years in a creek boat, now in a play boat...






Country Farmers.....



Near sunset...
Well, the day is just about complete......great new run, need to keep working on the action photo's....



On our way back to Seoul there was a ton of traffic. We noticed a Bowling alley and decided to stop in for a few games.....a first for both of us to bowl in Korea.....should be a hoot!



Perfect setting.....






Check out the form....



Focus......



Sttttttrike.....!!!



Luca showing some style!



i took both games.....although the scores were pretty low....maybe a 120...



ready for action....

We stepped outside....Welcome to Paris.....



Still heavy traffic...going to be a long trip home.....



Highway food cart......!?! Only in Korea!! :)
