a long walk down on the road

The Tongho trail 桶後越嶺古道 is in disrepair with landslides to climb, requiring several river crossings and the trail is not clear and closed on the 礁溪 Jiaoxi side at 宜蘭小礁溪登山口. We come out on the road far from XiaoJiaoxi 小礁溪 and call a cab to take us to Jiaoxi 礁溪 where we have dinner before taking the bus back to Taipei
