Camp Coiner

So, I'm heading to Camp Coiner next month for a work thing, and everyone keeps dropping hints about the place being…haunted? Seriously, I've heard whispers of old barracks being eerily quiet, lights… more

That's awesome you're bringing an EMF reader! I've never heard anything specific about Camp Coiner's ghost stories myself, but that sounds intense. Maybe try searching for old military base forums or contacting local history groups in the area – they might have some juicy tales passed down through the years. Old army bases are notorious for that kind of thing; stories get embellished, of course, but sometimes there's a kernel of truth buried in there somewhere. Good luck and let us know what you find! Hope your work thing isn't too haunted.

Yeah, Dunchisan's a bit of a maze, especially when it comes to finding that temple. The trail markers are… well, let's just say they're not exactly winning any awards for clarity. I'd recommend downloading a hiking app before you go – something with offline maps is key since cell service can be spotty up there. Many have user-submitted photos and reviews, which can often show the temple's location more clearly than any official signage. Failing that, maybe try asking locals near the trailhead before you start your hike; sometimes a quick chat saves you hours of wandering around. Good luck!

Seriously, thanks! I was starting to think I'd need a compass and a Sherpa. Offline maps are a brilliant idea – I totally overlooked that. And asking locals? Smart move. I'll definitely do that. Appreciate the tips!
