Mt. Hinode and Mitake
Yet another month - yet another mountain. This month we climbed Mt. Hinode and Mt. Mitake. The weather was not sunny and it was not warm but there were many surprises to be had.
Setting off. The fall colors this year are not quite spectacular.
I spot a snake… and the first thing I do is pick it up. Little did I know that it was a ‘Mamushi’, one of the most poisonous snakes in Japan. Good thing it was already dead.
I then spot a giant tree of mystery, but continue hiking along trying not to upset it.
What’s this? Why do I seem mesmerized?
