Sobo-san is the tallest mountain in the range that divides Miyazaki, Kumamoto, and Oita prefectures. My friend Andrew and I had planned on a 3 day backpacking trip over Sobo and several other mountains last week. However, typical of Japanese weather reports for national holidays, it rained long and hard instead of not at all (my friend Steve and I honestly believe that the government lies about the weather so that people will still spend money travelling, thereby proving a micro-burst of economic stimulation). I don't mind hiking in the rain, but I detest going to bed and waking up damp. Conclusion? Jump ship. Our 3 day trip turned into a mere day hike. Damn you Sobo!!!
Well, at least I got some good photos of the changing leaves.
