the long walk along long paths

A buddy from the lodge, Patrick, was driving to Naeba ski area the other day. I decided to tag along for another ride to the sea.

I have never seen so many tunnels and cartoon characters in my life-Japan is one of a kind

Pat dropped me off at nagaoka. i quickly got to work on my hitchhiking skills. they were lacking to say the least

the long walks began with earnest-over the horizon

saw some cool things along the way

i finally made it to the beach- a real sand beach as well!

cool territory out here, beach to mountains.

a nice long walk down the beach

walked along the train tracks for a while



and made it back to the train i time to make it back to hakuba for dinner
