長らく休眠状態だったブログだが、今年の旅行のハイライトは気合いを込めて選んだ紅葉巡りで、近年はつとに人気の高い箕輪ダムに出掛けた。元々は数年前から自転車で走る計画を温めていたのだが、大病続きでめっきりトレーニングしなくなって自走するメドが立たないため、今回は友人を誘い出してのドライブとなった。11月8日は文句の付けようない絶好の天気、しかも6日までの自動車規制されていた週明けの平日、混雑はそれほどでもなかった。自然の総天然色を満喫した一日となった。
After the long absence from uploading my blog, this year, a serious autumn-color hunting trip as a highlight was Minowa Dam that is becoming so popular in recent years. Originally, my plan was to make a bicycle tour to this spot from Tatsuno station perhaps because there is no convenient public transportation, but having suffered from several major diseases in series, it seemed I wasn't prepared for a long ride these days, I suggested to a friend of mine a drive.
November 8th was absolutely a best day for such visits with a super clear sky, and considering the week before, until the 6th, all the cars were forced to park a few miles before the destination to avoid jams, while we had very small slow-traffic. Enjoyed the amazing full color of the nature!
