Adventure!

They say an adventure is going through tough spots, surviving, then telling everyone it was nothing.

Well, I've lost my cell phone, biked a day through the rain.. Etc.

But it was worth it. Being alone with just your bike, tent ..and GPS :)

Taking side streets to look around, pausing to take in the surrounding mountains, wind and smells..

Getting lost and finding your way back again, parking at a convenience store for snacks and a rest.. Stopping at a random small town and finding out if they have camp grounds or where the onsen is...

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Of course there are also accidents, and I had one earlier. I'm ok, just skinned my arms bit, bruised my back and hurt my back. Im at the hospital to confirm its just a sprain or strain and nothing major. I'll have to go to to Yakumoor Hakodate to getmy bike checked tho, cuz the old man at the bike shop here was stumpped by my bike's level of awesomeness.

More later. I am fine.
