    Japan: Turkey Hang in Okutama (Nov 23-25)

    Tiger3 and I spent Thanksgiving and another two days up in Okutama. We started from Kori Station and made our way to Mt. Kawanori before taking the bus back down. An awesome trip with an over abundance of Fall.

    Trying to link photos from Flickr for the first time. Hope it works...

    The photos of Fuji in the distance take me back to my days as a Marine in the late 80s. Spent some time training in Japan and had the opportunity to climb Mt Fuji while we were there, it was really cool- my first and thus far only ascent of a volcano!

    Love seeing the trip reports from a distant land!

    Someone left a notebook there.
    My Japanese is not good but i think it means finding life (living life) through death from the point of view from a person who is terminally ill or thinking of suicide.

    Fuji is one pretty mountain. My quest is now to find a spot where I can wake up and see Fuji in the morning.
