Toward Jomon-sugi

Yo guys, here l am ... greatly kicking!
Ok today was my first day after 4 days staying on my bed and l wanted to go out ... and it was raining pretty strong! who cared? it is so nice to go out ... and it made me remember Yakushima!
So l woke up at 4 AM, put the tent away and miraculously it wasn't raining and took the bus at 5 AM ... and riding to Arakawa trail starting point (arrived around 6 AM and ball 11) ... on the way lots of tourists groups tours and whatnot!? the bus was soon full like lots of sardines compressed in the can with their backpacks and it was the end of the world.
When almost arriving at the spot we had to change the bus because the previous typhoon (the one that forced me to delay the departure when l was in Obi) destroyed a piece of the road and so what happened? the bus that was on the other side was coming backward (really an experienced driver needed to drive a bus in backward way on a mountain road ... bbbrrrrrrr) to pick us up like sardines and in 10 minutes was the arrival.
Now lets stop with words and just look this movie
... put the glass on and light off ... 3-2-1 GO!



Cool uh? did u see how Huge the tree was? nooooooooooo??? oh my gosh ... watch it once more!
... just kidding ... yep only to walk on the railroad is almost 3 hrs! and like Indiana Jones with his senses at the maximum, 3 times l felt under my feet a strong vibration ... OMG an earthquake?
no ... just the train, and it was nice to see this kind of train like the one they use for the mine, same same ... with 3~4 people going to do some job ... it would have been nice to shoot at'em while passing but unfortunately it was raining or my hands were too wet to get the camera in a fast way ... anyway do you know how much weight l was carrying on my shoulder? 20 KILOS! uuuuuuuuuuhhh 6 hrs walking with it! uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh.
There were lots of people coming and going (it was the season, next time l know when to go and what to bring exactly ;)) and in the movie, before the last scene with Jomon-sugi, did u get where l was? l was inside a trunk tree, it was the Wilson Stump and u could go inside and look up to look the extra beauty but l went in took the movie and chalom go go 'cause tourists continuously were coming in the middle to get a shot just like here:

See what l mean? heheeeeeeee ... and just after half an hour the ARRIVAL, Jomon-sugi:


Pretty old uh? but here too ... too many sardines stopping in the middle just to get a shot and immediately (almost, just the time to fill the belly with something ... a picnic!) and back another 5 hours of trekking under rain with raincoat and the guide blah blahing AOH? anyway l opted to go away immediately to find out the Hut ... ciao
