Next month I head back to Japan to visit my wife's family and to see the annual Osaka sumo tournament. Naturally I will also spend several days hiking by myself in the mountains. Mt Rokko and Arima Onsen area. Minoo mountain range with the waterfall and Katsuoji temple. A few others I haven't planned yet. Someone also laid out a line of caches along a walking path in Itami City where my wife is from.

Plenty of good times upcoming. I'll keep you guys informed.
