    Hiking through the (Japanese) Highlands...

    I climbed a mountain this weekend!

    It was only a small one though but it IS very characteristic of the Japanese highlands. I'm posting this thread in part because the rabble hasn't seen what I look like yet, so I figured I attach a picture of me taken from the summit and some of the scenic views from there.

    Cheers!

    I'm loving seeing these hiking pics. How inspiring. Men being REAL men! Thanks for sharing.

    Before you judge someone be sure to walk a mile in their kilt.
    That way you are at least a mile away and you have their kilt...

    Nice photos. The mist on the hills and over the valley is beautiful.

    So how high are the Mts. where you are standing. Look like they could be quite challenging.
