The last mountain for a while. 😭 Mt. Arakuru trail run before the typhoon

 Location:  




Starting and stopping point:  Myosenji

Peaks bagged: Akaru (閼伽流山)

(First time climbed) peaks None today

Getting there/getting around:  There is parking at the Myosenji Shrine

Map: I don't think there is a paper hiking map covering this.  I just used my hiking app--YAMAP.

Weather Information: 

Total Time:  :53 Break time: :00  Distance: 3.6k 

Elevation:  Lowest: 755m  Highest:  1,028m Total Ascent: 320m  Total Descent: 320m

Technical considerations/difficulty:  There are several steep spots with ropes.  The lookout spot near the peak of Akaru has a large dropoff.  I really wouldn't want to fall off there.  Much of this trail is runnable, but large portions aren't.  

Facilities:  Nothing

Thoughts/observations/recommendations:  Today is the first day of the obon holiday.  It is also the day that a typhoon is arriving.  I had big hopes for big mountains this week but . . .  I decided to at least get in a run before the forced hibernation of the coming few days.  This is a fun little area.  There are some really cool boulders around this temple's precincts.


Today's listening: Nothing













😭😭😭😭😭😭😭That's all for today.  Time to start hibernating.
Caveman out.
