Ethan and I went up to the Okutama mountains for a one day and one night camping trip and had a great time. We sweated lots, drank about 2 liters of water before we reached the top and we had some pretty amazing meals.
We camped at the location of a small temple and used a fly sheet and ground sheet to protect us from the rain (and it rained a little bit that night). During the course of our hike we read Psalm 19, 99, 103, and 115 as well as some passages from Matthew.
Dinner:
- Corn soup
- Can of mikans
- Coal-baked sweet potato
- Swiss Miss
Breakfast:
- Pocari Sweat (sports drink mix)
- Canned tuna mixed with canned corn put on top of Ritz crackers
- 2 fresh apples
- Soyjoy bar
- Raisin/peanut mix
- Snakes
- Bugs
- Toad
- 2 brown birds
- Snail

Thanks for the pictures. Even though I heard about your trip now I can put it together with the pictures. So glad that it worked out for you guys. With the humidity that we have been having, I can imagine how much sweating you guys must have done! Oh the joy of my wonderful children!!!!
