Are they on Dave's? I didn't hear about it. Driving can potentially be worse during Chuseok because at least buses can use the bus lanes! More time on the road than hiking, that's for sure! |

Hey guys. Sorry for the sad lack of updates, I'm on vacation in Taiwan for the week. The trip is still a go. It looks like maybe 4-5 of us. I checked train tickets and it's all pretty solidly booked up for that weekend. There are however some standing room tix.
So the plan: Let's meet in Jeonju Saturday around noonish. You can book tickets back for whenever you feel like it. I'll by buying my tickets as soon as I get back next Saturday. You should do the same! I'll let you know my time for sure later. If plans change, you can get a refund for your tickets (minus a small fee I think). |

Check the first post in the thread. Jeonju. Various day hikes in and around there. That's all the plans I've made! Come September, I'll do a better job, I promise! Or we can all just meet and hope for the best. That sometimes works well too. |

wow, with extensive planning skills like that, you could probably do the AT in your sleep, backwards, with one leki tied behind your back, 5 or 6 times

Sept 22 (Wed) to the 26 (Sat) are the dates.
Crash Bang...do not worry. I have planned probably 10 or 15 multi-day backpacking/horsepacking trips for groups of friends/campers/family. So it will be somewhat organized. I'm just not a micro-planner because that seems to take away a lot of the fun (at least for me).
Were you one of those thru-hikers who had your mileage all graphed out and maildrops ready even before you set a foot outside the door? If yes, maybe you can plan this trip because you'll probably be pretty frustrated at me most of the time. |

So I just bought my train tickets...has anyone else done the same?
Cheonan-Jeonju. Sept. 22. 9:30-11:48 (only standing room left).
Jeonju-Cheonan. Sept. 26. 1:30-2:55 (again standing room). the 12:30 was completely sold out.
I've done a bit more research and it looks like we can camp for at least a couple of the nights and then stay in a cheap minbak or something for the others ones. Perfect combo or forest fun and cleanliness I think! |
