Destination (mountain): GyeRyongSan(鶏龍山계룡산816m) in Gongju(公州)
Hiking course: Donghaksa Bus Stop – Seoul Restaurant – NamMaeTap – KeunGoGae – SamBulBong – GwanEumBong – EunSeon Waterfall – Donghaksa Temple – Bus Stop (About 7 km, 5.5 hours)
Partner: Eric (Su Jiulong)
It was the election day. (Park Geunhye was elected as the 1st female President of Korea.) In Korea, election days are always national holidays, so I called for irregular hike on this day to AhSoSan people. Only Eric (So Jiulong) joined me.
I told him to meet me at Yuseng Bus Stop at 8 am. He did come to Yuseong, but "Yuseong Intercity Bus Terminal". I meant “Yuseong Spar” Bus Stop. So, I had to walk to see him in the morning. (It was my fault.)
[The bus-stop of "Yuseong Spar", 儒城温泉地下鉄5番出口駅、유성 온천 지하철 5 번 출구 역]
We took #107 bus and arrived at Donghaksa Temple Bus Terminal at 8:40.

I suggested Eric to buy a set of climbing irons. He bought a set at a convenient store (35,000 won.)
After taking some pictures in front of Seoul Restaurant, we entered the mountain at Cheonjeongol Center Entrance.
[At Chenjeongol Entrance, チョンジョンゴル探訪支援センター前にて、천전골 탐방 지원 센터 앞에서]
The trails were frozen, so we needed to put climbing irons, soon.
We had a coffee break (he had tea) and stopped at a spring.

We arrived at Geun Pass at 10:09. There are nice stone bench there, but too cold to take a long rest.
[]"NamMaeTap" or "Pagoda of Brother & Sister", 鶏龍山の男妹塔、계룡산의 남매탑]
We arrived at NamMaeTap at 10:30. I failed to take self-timer photo there. But I explained a folk story about NamMaeTap (A tiger brought a woman to a monk. They lived as a brother and a sister, not a man and his wife. “NamMae” means a brother and a sister.)
[An old story of "Monk and Tiger and Beauty"男女塔の伝説の由来を示す図、남매탑 전설의 유래를 나타내는 그림]
To access the first peak “SamBulBong” we had to climb steep iron stairs. There were beautiful hoarfrost on the trees (“SangGoDae상고대” in Korean) at and around the peak.

After taking beautiful scenes at SamBulBong, we began ridge walking toward GwanEumBong.
The ridge walk distance is only 1.6 km, but it took much time because I took many pictures.
The final access to the 2nd peak “GwanEumBong”is steep iron stars again.
[The last access to GwanEumBong, 観音峰への最後の階段、관음봉에 마지막 계단]
There is a nice gazebo at GwanEumBong. We put our laggage there and climbed the top of GwanEumBong (816m)
[At the observatory of GwanEumBong,観音峰の展望台にて、관음봉 전망대에서]
[Eric at the top of GwanEumBong (816m), 観音峰の頂上にて、관음 봉정상에서]
The highest peak at GyeRongSan is ChenHwangBong (845m), but it is an off-limit area for national defence reason. It was about 12:30. We had our lunch at the gazebo. Then several beautiful birds came around us for food. Eric fed them with some bread. They liked them very much. Some of them were brave enough to stop on my arm!
[A small bird flew to the gazebo, 六角亭に小鳥たちが飛来した。육각정에 작은 새들이 날아왔다.]
[The top of ChenHwangBong (845m)and military facilities,天皇峰の頂上(845m)及び軍施設、천황봉 정상 (845m) 및 군 시설]
At 1 pm after the lunch, we began decending the mountain. The trail from GwanEumBong to Eumseon Waterfall was just 1 km. Again the trails were steep stone stairs and all frozen. I was glad that Eric bought climbing irons in the morning.
[We began descending the mountains, 観音峰から下山開始、관음봉에서 하산 시작]
We arrived at the waterfall at 1:42. Then the trails become gentle, but still frozen.
[The EunSeon Waterfall, 隠仙滝、은선 폭포]
We arrived at Donghaksa Temple (nunnery temple) at 2:10. It is a beautiful temple, but we did not spend much time this time.

We took a bus at 2:50 and arrived at Yuseong at 3:10.
[We took the bus before 3 pm, 我々は3時前にバスに乗った。우리는 3시 전에 버스를 탔다.]
[[Stammtisch Meeting that evening]]
We met again that evening for Stammtsich meeting.
Stammtisch meeting is usually held at 8:30 pm at the international lobby in front of Coffee and Tea Leaf at W2 Building at KAIST.
One of the members, Haekyung invited other members at home that night. So we got together at 7 pm. Tracey and Jim (both Australinas) and Eric and I got together, and we all walked to Haekyung’s home near Hanpit Apartment.
[Marta from Ukraine and Eric from China, ウクライナから来たマルタと中国山東省から来たエリック、우크라이나에서 온 몰타와 중국 산동성에서 온 에릭]
Haekyung’s home is a big independent house of two stories (maybe 3 time larger than mine in Japan!)
She introduced her husband, and her neighbers. One of them was a Japanese who married a Korean woman.
Another important member, Marta from Ukrain, also joined our party. She usually comes with her husband, but she said her husband had a headacke that evening, so he could not join us.
It was our last meeting for this year since Jim and Marta and I are to go home for winter vacation soon.
Tracey is planning to visit Japan and I will join her to a short trip to see snow-monkeys in Nagano Prefecture on New-Year’s Eve.
Thanks to Haekyung that we had nice food and good admosphere at her home. We enjoyed the party until 9:30 pm at her home.

We only missed Alan England, who used to be the most important member of Stammtsich.
But I am planning to visit him in Tennessee in Feb. next year. I look forward to seeing him very much.

分類：大統領選投票日 冬の鶏龍山プライベート登山
登山月日：2012年12月19日、
登山地：公州鶏龍山
登山コース：バス停～ソウル食堂～チョンジョンコル(천전골)探訪支援センター入口～クンコゲ(큰고개)～男妹塔～三仏峰(삼불봉775m)～観音峰(관음봉816m)～隠仙瀑布(은선폭포)～東鶴寺(동학사)～ソウル食堂～バス停(約7キロ5.5時間)
同行者：エリック(蘇九龍)
エリックと8時に儒城バス停で待ち合わせ。彼は儒城市外バスターミナル前で待ち、私は「儒城温泉5番出口前駅」で待ったため、携帯で場所確認をして私が市外バスターミナルへ行った。
場所を明確に教えなかった私の落ち度だ。それでも東鶴寺バス停には8時45分に到着した。
8時50分から登山開始。エリックにはアイゼンの購入をすすめ、彼はコンビニで3.5万ウォンのアイゼンを購入した。
[At the big map of GyeRyonSan in front of "Seoul Sikdang", ソウル食堂前の鶏龍山の地図の前で、서울식당 앞 계룡산지도 앞에서]
コースはソウル食堂の前を右折してチョンジョンコル(천전골)探訪支援センターから入山し、途中、1回コーヒー(エリックは紅茶)休憩と水飲み場で水補給。
[Eric at a spring, 水飲み場にて、약수터에서]
[Eric wearing "climbing irons" on his boots, アイゼンを装着したエリック、아이젠을 장착한 에릭]
クンコゲには10:09に到着。ここはまったく日が差さないので寒く、すぐに男妹塔へ向かって出発した。
[Eric at "Keungogae", 『クンコゲ』の里程標にて、"큰고개"의 이정표에서]
男妹塔到着は10:30。ここで三脚を使って写真を撮ったはずだが、失敗。ここも長くは休憩せず、三仏峰に向かった。

[Eric at the guidepost of SamBulBong Pass, 三仏峰峠の里程標にて、삼불봉 고개의 이정표에서]
三仏峰への鉄階段を上るとまわりの樹木が見事なサンゴデ(상고대hoarfrost on the tree)になっている。これは予期せぬ神さまのプレゼントだ。よろこんで写真を撮りまくった。

[Hoarfrost on the trees at SamBulBong, 三仏峰の樹霜、삼불봉의 상고대]
三仏峰から観音峰までの1.6km区間はこのハイキングのハイライト区間で、天気さえよければいつも良い景色を楽しめる。今回も右を見れば公州方面、左を見れば大田方面、それに振り返れば三仏峰(775m)、前方を見れば観音峰(816m)や最高峰の天皇峰(845m)がよくみえた。
[A guidepost between SamBulBong and GwanEumBong, 三仏峰と観音峰の間の稜線の里程標、삼불봉와 관음봉 사이의 능선의 이정표]
しかし、観音峰への最後のアプローチは勾配がきつい階段と岩場で、いつもつらいところだ。
[The final access to GwanEumBong, 観音峰への最後のアプローチ、관음봉에 마지막 접근]
観音峰の六角亭に荷物を置いて石標に登り記念撮影。時間は12:29だった。ひとしきり写真を撮った後、六角亭で昼食にした。
[George at the top of GwanEumBong (816m), 観音峰の頂上にて、관음 봉정상에서]
するとパクセよりも明るい色の小鳥が多く寄ってきて食べ物をねだる。エリックがサンドイッチのパン片をやると喜んで食べる。そのうちの1羽は私の手に止まるほど大胆だ。
[A small bird flew to the gazebo, 六角亭に小鳥たちが飛来した。육각정에 작은 새들이 날아왔다.]
エリックがおすそわけしてくれた手作りのブラウニーのかけらを手すりの上にのせると次々と飛来してくわえていった。
いつものように約30分の休憩後、1時過ぎに六角亭を出発し、隠仙瀑布へ向かった。
[We began descending the mountains, 観音峰から下山を開始。관음 봉에서 하산 시작.]
急な石段は完全に凍っていてアイゼンなしではあぶない。
隠仙瀑布には1:42に到着した。滝は凍りついておらず、水が流れていた。
[The EunSeon Waterfall, 隠仙滝、은선 폭포]
この後、勾配は緩くなるが、道の氷は解けていない。東鶴寺には2:10に到着。ここでアイゼンを外し、バス停には2:45に到着。
[Donghaksa Temple, 東鶴寺、동학사]
[At the mountain gate of Donghaksa Temple, 東鶴寺の山門にて、동학사 산문에서]
バスはすぐに出て、儒城温泉には3時10分ごろ戻った。
エリックはKAISTから儒城市外バスターミナルまで自転車できたというのでそこで下車した。
私は911番バスがタイミング悪く、タッチの差で出たばかり、次のバスまで25分も待たなければならず、新城洞へは4:10に戻った。
[[2012年最後のスタムティッシュ・ミーティング]]
この日は水曜日で今年最後のスタムティッシュをヘギョン宅で開催することになっていて、エリックも参加した。
KAISTで7時に集合し、トレイシーやジムとともにヘギョンの家へ向かった。
ヘギョンの家は忠南後山のすぐ下で、大きな二階家だった。ご主人(宋寅先)も在宅で、ほかにパキスタンでの宣教活動に携わっているという丁斗煥牧師、またペジェ大学の日本語教師・Sさんが韓国人の奥さんとともに呼ばれていた。
[Prof. S and his wife, 日本人のS教授とその夫人、일본인 S 교수님과 그의 부인]
ヘギョンはスパイシーな炒めライスをメインに各種デザートを用意してくれた。登山のためかなり疲れていたが、9時半まで楽しく参加した。
スタムティッシュのレギュラーメンバー(ヘギョン、マルタ、トレイシー、ジム及び私)はこの日参加できなかったもっとも重要なメンバー、アラン・イングランドを懐かしんだ。
[A group picture at the end of the meeting, ミーティングの最後に集合写真、Stammtisch의 마지막 단체 사진]
それでも私は来年2月にアランの住むテネシーへ彼に会いに行く予定である。アランにテネシーを案内してもらうのは非常に楽しみだ。
さて、この日のパーティは常会通り9時半までにして、私はエリックとともに自転車でKAIST後門まで走った。登山は今年63回目である。
