Think you'll find Hakusan to be an easy day hike, probably less than the 7 hrs you mentioned (assumptions based on previous pinky TRs). Added bonus is that the leaves/leafs(?) should be changing around then, but with the drawback being the crowds, especially with it being a 3 day weekend. Good mt for some spring skiing as well.

thanks tele. website said 5hr up / 3hr down.

it's too bad there's no mountain men in the Toyama area...

Toyama's full of mountain men - in fact I think one of the guys on here, Shinobi, is from Toyama

Seriously though, I'd love nothing better than to hang out around Hakusan for a few days, unfortunately that 3 day weekend will be pretty busy for us as well.

he didn't take the bait. Haku-san is remote, that's for sure. Really cool view of tateyama and Ontake from there though. Will get some photos. The leaves are changing.

The leaves are changing. I hope you don't catch a cold in the changing of the seasons while you do your best for your company.

It has become very autumn like; how have you been? Please take care of yourself.

we thank you for your cooperation in these trying times. Please understand.

Thank you always for your hard work. I continue to look forward to your support in our relationship.

Race Report?

I just spit coffee over my keyboard reading Pinky and Shinobis exchange

race report:

muddy. super fukkin muddy. Besports did a great job of putting the races on but i've never ridden a bike in that much mud. i got there late had time for just one practice run. i had to slow down massive in the flat sections to try and clean my goggles off cause i had no tearaways. it was a shitshow. i wrecked twice in the race run and i'm pretty sure i finished dead last.

Otsukare！ Got any pics of girls mud wrestling???
