Diary |
I was sleepy but left Yokohama.
I was tired for climbing from Nakanojo.
Something is wrong with tires at Numata. So I check it at a parking of covenience store(seven/eleven) for two hours...... But I cannot fix them.
I reached Matsukaze in Katashina just before sunset. I was lucky that in Katashina it rained, but I never met rains.
Tomorrow, I will try to Konsei Pass (1,880 m above the sea). |
