We had to ford the Hantan near Chon-gok and also near Rodriguez, since the bridge would often be either washed out, or under water. The bridges were replaced with much higher, permanent type when I returned in 69. The Enginers would have markers on each bank marking where we were to stay between when crossing.

The good news is that it has inspired the engineers to really look at the load capacity of various bridges and also riverbed analysis of more ford sites.
