Travelin’ in Style
Since having bought the scooter, it’s gotten much easier to get up to the mountain to do some rock climbing. I’ve been up there the last several Saturdays and gotten some great climbing in. I haven’t taken many pictures – seems like I have lots of pictures of people who asses from down below I can no longer recognize.
Getting there, however, is half the fun. In the car, SaTang just sat and watched the world go by, sometimes even sleeping as I drove. No more. Those days are over, baby. She still likes going to the mountain and running around, chasing ground squirrels, barking at birds and begging for handouts from the Koreans who bring their entire kitchen when they climb. If you want to get out and play, you’ve gotta make an effort. And she does extremely well sitting on the floorboard of the scooter.
In case anyone is worried about safety, she’s wearing a harness and is attached to the bike via leash. If she falls off, I can yank her right back on without choking her. No worries about that, as she’s content just to sit between my feet and lean against my calves.
Sparky, one pup we decided to keep is too little (and too jumpy) to go up on Munsu. She’s cute as hell, but so far hasn’t proven quite as smart as her mama. Our climbing areas have a few meters of walking area between the cliff faces and the next drop-off, but I’m afraid she would just be too curious. We might wait until she’s a little less puppy before taking her out and turning her into a full blown crag dog. In the meanwhile, she goes to MyeongHee’s hairshop where she’s fawned over by MH and her customers.



Oh, Sa Tang looks terrified.. Nice ride Mard. Sparky is a little fuz ball. Love the scarf. How come when i get on here I always have to click on the Entries RSS buttton to get new feed??
beats me. I check this page from a couple of browsers, Windows and Linux. Works fine
I agree Pegger! Sa Tang looks like she’d rather be somewhere else.
Mard you really look like a biker dude! You need more tatoos now!
