My last hike with Rich n Naoyuki tagged along, turns out he likes hiking n will take over my role now im gone.  It was my only day off in a very busy week, so I was very tired n Rich insisted on going early.  It was a nice day out, I took a little too much water, so my bag 
was heavy.  Turns out Rich's mapreading skills were a little off that day n after 12km we hit a road, 
which confirmed what we feared.  We tried hitchhiking to the train station n when that didn't work we found a bus that went to Nara.  I think the boys would have made it back hiking, but I was thankful for the sleep on the bus.  After we headed to Shabu shabu.  Hikes are no fun if things go to plan!  Thanks Rich, for all the long suspenseful, intriguing hikes.
