Hiking Mount Tsukuba Part 1 (2012-12-01)
Fall weather is great and is the best time for outdoors activities. My friend's really keen on hiking Mount Tsukuba and invited me along on a day in October.
I knew the trees hadn't changed but that's alright, we both weren't
after red maples, we just wanted to get out there, breathe some
refreshing
mountain air and exercise our muscles.
Man...did I exercise my muscles! The mountain is so much
harder than I thought it'd be to climb. The trail started off
tame and then went crazy rugged and steep. The fact that it
rained the night before made matters worse turning a large part of the
trail slippery.
My whole body was sore for four days after that hellish climb or
maybe I am just too darned old for this kind of rigorous activity.
The trip will be explained in photos over several posts. Click on the picture if you want to follow our hike.
