Yes, I can be a die hard and get out in the weather to climb two or three thousand feet into the atmosphere and meet more deteriorating weather and colder conditions. On the contrary, one of the main reasons I go hiking is for the photography.
The weather in Japan has been everything but good shutterbug weather. It has rained every single day since I came back from Chicago last Friday. On Tuesday there was a break in the weather for a day, but the rains continued the same night.
The most current forecast is for rain through Saturday, cloudy on Sunday, partial clearing on Monday, then cloudy for the rest of the forecast. Oh man! Only one good over-night hike for the summer, then on to Autumn. But with a heavier pack too! Bigger sleeping bag, heavier clothing.
So now I am debating an overnight hike on Monday and Tuesday of next week and risk not being able to get any pictures. Or just hang tight for the following weekend. The later choice is looking a bit more appealing given the work situation.
I am finding that it is harder to stay in the city working than spending time in the mountains wondering around. However, I must admit that my current job is far more interesting than any other I have experienced - I do like my work!

Urgh, I know what you mean - this weather is just dismal. I'm going stir crazy. I was planning to take my wife up Mt Fuji next week once the official climbing season ends, but I am not sure it's going to be possible...
Maybe all this rain means we'll have a fantastic autumn!?
