Well, the past few weeks have been pretty sweet! I decided to go and do some treking with my girlfriend in the wonderland known as Seoraksan National Park. It was pretty sweet, but there is one thing I don't think I can stress enough.
THE TRAILS HERE LITERALLY GO STRAIT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Koreans do not seem to A.) be aware of and B.) Care about switchbacks in their hiking trails. And so what this means, is that we summited the third highest point in Korea, just shy of 6000 feet of vertical elevation gain, in under 6 miles!! What kind of person would make a trail like that?!?!
But actually though it was really fun! We spent two nights on the trail, and luckily the weather had just decided to turn crispy cool here, so the many layers I had packed were not just extra weight in our packs. It was EunHye's first time backpacking and she really liked it. Hoping to do some more soon, but more importantly... Snowboarding!!!!!!!!! It's almost the season for that, and I'm mega excited!
On a totally unrelated note, anyone have any idea what I could be for Haloween?

Sexy Rexy is back...
He changed his name to Jay Cutler.
9 sacks in the first half, and then a pretend concussion so he could stop playing.
3 good games and then the worst game I have ever seen the bears play... It reminds me quite a bit of the unpredictableness of Sexy Rexy. I miss our good old Kyle Orton.

Dang, 6 miles to climb 6000 feet! That's way harder than Half Dome.....didn't we do 8.5 miles one-way to climb 5000 feet, or something like that?
