I would like to do it again.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-39253074443128499122010-05-09T06:06:13.742-07:002010-05-09T06:06:13.742-07:00Quite an intense route, I'm glad you and Micha...Quite an intense route, I'm glad you and Michael could join me for it. I've seen people cringe at the suggestion of this route because of the memories it conjures up mixed in with its unforgiving climb.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your emotional experience. We're all really no match against nature.<br /><br />I guess the only correction is that we started in Jhongsing Village and headed towards (bei)Jhongliao. We didn't go though Mingjian until the way back right before Nantou City.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-70282359435915128352010-05-08T09:25:27.563-07:002010-05-08T09:25:27.563-07:00Exceptional post, Andrew.

My b-i-law drove us from WuFeng towards Puli about a year after the quake and the denuded hills shocked me ... that's gotta be a lot of shaking. My then-70 year old parents in WuFeng made it through without any house damage, but were too scared to sleep inside. So, for 3 months, they joined the party over at the WuFeng provincial assembly grounds where hundreds of locals set up camp and made the best of it in true resilient Taiwanese fashion.<br /><br />Can't wait to pedal that route.P.
