Cycling in Korea: Gangwon-do - a place for bicycle touring micro adventures! Puma/Cougar sightings too

I told a true story about cycling in Gangwon-do, Korea and having a Cougar (Puma, Mountain Lion) jump out in front of me, growl like a tiger, leap to the mountain, growl again, and have it's cub rustling in the brush over a barbed wire fence that the mother obviously leaped over, we went back to that site together, the Tiger Conservation researcher and myself last week, we found dung samples for the lab, hope we determine the DNA, here's the story in blog, welcome to the Korean-World, a link to South Korea and Adventure Living.
