Hello TWMCers
There are currently five of us going on this weekend's
hike to Jonendake, but we have two cars available and can
take more people, so if you're interested in joining
please just let me know.
The weather is currently looking good for the weekend -
and it's a great chance to get away from the heat to the
fresh mountain air, as well as some spectacular views!
If you have any questions, just drop me a line - or also
we'll be in Hot Stuff again tomorrow evening from about
9pm with a map.
