We didn't stray too far from home. Typical of our camping trips, we looked at some maps, found some very small, very local roads that wound into the mountains and near rivers. We decided to investigate one of these "roads" to nowhere, and ended up camping by a river in the general area of Otsuki. Oddly, we found ourselves not too far off of highway 20, but didn't encounter a soul. Oh...we did meet one hiker while we ourselves were hiking...
The photo opportunities were limited, but here are a few shots:
Camping is best done with beer!
Some Japanese cedars, responsible for all the kafunsho (hay fever) in Japan:
Although the road no longer existed ( we had to rock-hop (and very-broken-bridge hop) across the river, and hike up a non-paved single track), we found a bit of a "car graveyard". This is a close-up of an old Toyota:
On the drive home, although the day was a bit hazy, I couldn't resist a few shots of Mt. Fuji. This is taken from the Fuji-go-Ko toll road:

It looks like you had some pleasant weather and a relaxing weekend. Hard to ask for more than that if you don't run out of beer :)
