travel notes

  1. As with previous walk blogs, I'll be uploading only ten photos a day during the walk, and the rest of the photos for each day will appear once I get back, along with captions and extra commentary.
  2. I have to bring along camping equipment for the one night that I'll have no choice but to camp. This also means bringing along dehydrated food, water, a mess kit, and the means to start a fire to boil the water needed for a meal. I'll also need to bring along rain gear although, for the moment, Daejeon is looking to be all clear around the time I leave Seoul. That could change, though. Rain gear will mean a jacket for me and a shroud for my backpack, which I have. I'll trust my bivy sac to protect me while I sleep. I found a campground right next to my Day 4 stopping point, so finding a place to set up won't be any trouble at all, and even if the campground is still closed on March 19 (Day 4 of the walk), I'll camp in the campground anyway.
  3. I've already front-loaded scheduled blog content for my main blog to last through the walk; posts will appear at a reduced schedule. This means I'll have fewer bots visiting the Hairy Chasms, depressing my (already artificial) numbers, but that makes no difference. I've labored at this blog since 2003, and if I haven't built up a crowd of followers after all this time, then I'm never going to have a huge readership. I should just accept my fate. Meanwhile, I'll be blogging here daily. As I said above: ten pics a day plus an entry. More photos and captions and commentary once I'm back in Seoul.

And more notes to come as my departure date gets closer.
