day 18, 1:44pm, long walk back

well the first 27km went pretty well. i've visited temple 38 and just finished lunch. it's been a beautiful day and there have been some wonderful views of the ocean.

i've got another 6-7 hours of walking, but i should be able to get back to my gear before all the light is gone.

there is a 24 hour convenience store on the way so i'm set for food. mmm... i can taste the slurpee already.

so for those following on a map, i'm going back up the east coast of cape ashizuri. i'll be cutting across to temple 39 tomorrow.

snake count 10, big one today 5ft.+
