Just got back from an amazing hike in the mountains of Fujieda. What a day. As Jeff and I shared a beer and dinner after a tiring day, we talked about how some days just work better than you could have expected. Today was one of those days. Everything went smoothly (minus the loss of Rae's phone) from the time we set out. A beautiful trail with challenging terrain, interesting sites (including mating toads and nasty worm like things in a muddy puddle...check back for some pics), and a great effort from everyone on our team made for a pretty perfect day. I am pretty tired and ready to hit the sack, but just wanted to give a shout out to the team. Today was another step in the right direction. Let's do this thing.
