Today I went to the Inner Harbor of my “hometown” in Korea, Gunsan. There was an interesting park there with military vehicles on display.
At the entrance there was a long line of flags.
Between the UN flag and the South Korean flag there was this plaque. I don't know what it says except for the last line.
I got to climb up on and in some of these fascinating things:
There was a cool decommissioned Coast Guard ship I got to climb all over and explore.
It had a pretty heavy-duty gun on board. I spun it all around and moved it up and down, trying to catch things in its crosshairs.
The ship also afforded a great view of the whole park itself.
From the top I could see the lush green field that had grown over the three sets of - apparently extinct - traintracks I'd crossed coming in.
And the military lamp post...
They closed while I was there, so I didn't get to explore the other cool things on display. But the whole park was free, and not too far by bike, so I think it's safe to assume that eventually I will go back and finish what I started.
