ハイキング

Today despite the rain I headed back to Mt. Homan for revenge for my failed hike last week. As I arrived in Dazaifu I worried that it would be the same as last week and I would be rained off the mountain. But amazingly and in defiance of the weather forecast the weather held for the entire hike with only a little rain here and there. 

I climbed up safely and quickly. I stopped for a little on the top before continuing on and I decided to use the Usagi michi route down.  This was my first time using this route It was more wild and fun than the main route. There were a number of overflowing streams I had to wade through but it wasn't too hard. I met a number of toads and frogs on the top. One got annoyed at me and went into defensive mode puffing up and standing on all fours in an attempt to look big, very cute. 

I was glad to return to Honanzan and finish what I started and I was happy to see different flora and fauna than last week

A very rainy Sunday. I got bored staying home watching the TV so headed out for a rain hike. I took it slow and calm to enjoy the atmosphere. Along the way I met lots of rainy day creatures, from slow snails to fast frogs! 

Using my bluetooth speaker I hiked down to the sounds of Elmore James "The sky is crying" to complete the atmosphere of the hike. Splendid.

天拝山（てんぱいざん）は、福岡県筑紫野市にある標高258mの山である。その名は、大宰府に流刑された菅原道真が自らの無実を訴えるべく幾度も登頂し天を拝したという伝記に由来する。古名は天判山（てんぱんざん）。
