Time for New Boots

Got new hiking boots. They last (excuse pun) two to three years.

Fukuoka from Aburayama. Plan: 4-hour hike. Actual: 7 hours. Reason: I had to backtrack. I climbed each peak twice!

My hike today, on the way to Mount Kaya, on the coast, west of Fukuoka.

Hiked into the clouds to the top of Yufusan, northern Kyushu. A good day.

Unzen-Amakusa National Park. Every time I saw a sign pointing to a peak, I climbed the peak.

Exhausting day exploring ancient cedar forests on Yakushima. Knotted ropes were helpful in the steep bits.

Florida Keys: we walked across the sea on a bridge that originally carried a railroad.

Hiked Arikok National Park.

My walking path today: the surface of Lake of the Isles. Next time I visit the lake, the path will be gone.

Hiked coastal trail, then late lunch at Duke’s (Lihue) before heading for the airport. LIH–HNL, HNL–SEA, SEA–MSP.
