as autumn returns once more

Drove to Daehap 대합 township, a typical country village in Gyeongnam 경남 province and started from the township office. Each day of October’s autumn feels more and more precious. The mountain pass between Daehap and Goam 고암 had a steep uphill section, which was a bit tough, but it was an enjoyable day during the Chuseok 추석 holiday.
Took a short break at the top of the mountain pass between Daehap and Goam areas. The long downhill beyond the hill was enough to cool off a cyclist's  sweat. The photo on the right shows the downhill road leading to Goam after crossing the mountain pass and the rural scenery.
Rode over once again the long mountain pass from Goam to the Seongsan 성산 area and headed east toward the Dalchang 달창 Reservoir. The road runs right next to the reservoir, allowing you to enjoy the scenery. You can keep going straight along the road, then descend the downhill near the reservoir embankment and turn left, which will take you onto a path that runs just below the embankment. You can also see the Dalchang reservoir embankment in the distance.
