I like walking. Its
the best way to travel. At human speed you get to see things that
would be missed if moving faster. Walking alone is best of all.
With the silence there is more chance of noticing things and encountering
wildlife. Sakurae has hundreds of trails heading into the mountains.
Once used to get from place to place, they are now rarely used except
for collecting mushrooms and other wild foods. There are also hundreds
of kilometres of "farm" roads. Once they were trails connecting
outlying farms with the villages, and even though they may now be
paved, they are used rarely. As well there are forest roads, built
into the forest for commercial lumbering. Many are closed to vehicles
and those that arent are rarely used. I have an insatiable desire
to know the place I live. I want to know where each road or trail
goes to, and what can be found along the way. Here are photo logs
of my recent hikes. |
