I look at this picture and get a bit frustrated. Since this last mountain climb, there has not been more than a single day of clear weather that would be suitable for good mountain climbing and photography. At this very moment we are waiting for typhoon #13 to pass eastern Japan. This will go on through early morning, then will return to muggy, cloudy weather for a couple of days.

Tomorrow or the next day will make my way into Yokohama to shop for a new sleeping bag. I need a zero degree bag now that winter is upon us. I would get a minus five or a minus ten if those were not so big. The last thing I want is to layer up for a fall or winter hike, then have to fill my backpack with sleeping bag. I figure that I can probably get away with going just a little (not too much so) light on sleeping bag, then layer up when I go to sleep. We'll see, but also do not want to figure out that this won't work when I get to the top of a mountain and wake up freezing at 3 a.m.
