Karthik, you pushed your limits. Congratulations on the accomplishment.
To all members who joined this trip, thank you! You all gave me a lot of help when my hand couldn't. Setting up and breaking down tents, cooking delicious meals, and handling the rope. It was a good team effort.
Akita surpassed my expectations. There is something special about that place that I cannot put in words. I wish I could have put the serenity in my bag and taken it home with me. Todozawa was unreal! As if it was sculpted by Michelangelo. I would go back in a heartbeat if I could.
It was a pleasure spending time with you all. I am sure we'll get together again soon.
Now that all all the photos have been uploaded on Google photos. When you have a few minutes could you all go through them and start liking? I will post our favorites on OCJ when we've got a nice batch.
Finally, I've gotta ask, has anyone seen my brown Columbia hiking sneakers? I brought them with me on the trip and have not seen them since...
