Wonju Rail Park & Suspension Bridge

This is M&M here and I am going to tell you about our experience doing the Wonju Rail Park and the Suspension Bridge. We started out in the car. We took the short / long drive to get to the park. We had to wait to ride the rail bikes because the Koreans only let the rail bikes get ridden on at a certain time. So the next closest time to ride the rail bikes was in 20 minutes. So we had to wait. We took this trip with Talia and our best friends, the Walkers. 

So while we waited, there were these retired rail bikes and the little kids had fun pretending that they were rail biking. After the 20 minutes were up, we got on the rail bikes and enjoyed the scenery as we biked. The weird thing about these bikes was that it was a 1 way trail. So the rail biking company took us on a train and pulled behind it hundreds of cars. 

Then when we got about 10 minutes away from the start, they finally stopped and let us get on the bikes and ride back. My family had done a suspension bridge just 5 minutes away from the rail biking place a few months back. So we were happy to see the suspension bridge as we biked and rode the train. We all had fun riding on the bikes and going through tunnels. 

We rented three bikes.  Talia and Mom were in the bike with Little A and Bryn.  Big Sis, M&M and Clair were on another bike.  And Bri and Jason were on a bike with Monster and Quinn.  Dad had to work, so he wasn't able to come.

After we got back, most of the kids wanted to go home. Talia and Mom really wanted to do the suspension bridge, so they made a plan. The Walkers would drive all of the kids besides me and Big Sis back home while Mom, Talia, me, and Big Sis went to do the suspension bridge. Mom, Talia, me, and Big Sis drove the short 5 minutes to get to the start of the hike. The we hiked up the 578 stairs to get to the top.

When we hiked it up the first time, it was with Grandma and Grandpa, It was one of the hottest day of the month, it took about 3 hours to finish it, and Little A fainted from the heat 3 times. So it was a lot easier this time. It took us only 1 hour to get up the 578 stairs, go across the suspension bridge, go back down the stairs, get some ice cream, and get back in the car. We were going super fast, and we were all out of breath when we got to the top.

Mom didn't get to go across the bridge the last time we came, so we made sure to go all the way across to the other side.

Mom saw a big sign, so we made one last stop on the way to the car.  It was a big I love you sign.  Big Sis and I wanted to hurry and leave because we didn't want to miss youth group tonight.  We were a little late, but we still made it.
