Japanese Mountains: Lost!
For the first time in maybe 15 years I got good and lost in the mountians today! Mr. S and I planned on seeing the Shimizu Waterfall which is the highest waterfall in the Izumi Mountains. After seeing the falls I thought it would be good to go through the beautiful valley up beyond the falls and then take the ridge route back to the Sefuku Temple and then back to the parking lot. However, at the end of the valley I took what I thought was the right route up to the ridge but it was the wrong ridge. After an hour of hiking with a vague feeling that this is not right, we came out on an un-familiar logging road. At that point I knew we were completely lost and I had no idea where we were. Of course the only thing to do was to back track and hope that we remembered the way we came. We made it back to the main valley before dark and so were able to end the day on a positive note. At least I ended the day on a positive note. Mr. S asked me, "Were there any parts of today's climb that you liked?" I assume that that meant that he himself was having a hard time finding any good points-getting all sweaty and tired and then being told at the end that we were lost and would need to back track does not seem to be his idea of a good day!!
