Had to venture off compound to see an old rock wall.
I must say that The Great Wall is

A Wonder to all the World.

Just knowing that it's ancient and 4,000 miles long boggled my mind before I even saw it. The guard posts offers a veiw of a twisting rock formation that that weaves through the beautiful

Chinese Countryside. Standing there It's defies my imagination that such a thing exists.

My teammate - Greta and I walked up, almost crawled up sections that are shaped as the hill sides are -Steep!

A 2.5 hour hike yeilded maybe a mile of a trail that would send you clear cross the states and then some. Breathtaking with every step yet painful as well. Worth it - heck Ya!
