The Backpack Adventures

  Day 327:  September 24, 2022 Saturday -  9.24-25 Family Road Trip D1 Today is the second day of our second long weekend excursion this month. However, due to inclement weather, we decided to cancel our plans yesterday. We were about to cancel the entire trip and just stay home the whole weekend, but thankfully, I was able to devise an alternate itinerary last night that my wife accepted. Rainy day in Horokanai RIP Tanuki-san Mr. Traffic Safety reminding everyone to be safe Sunflower fields along National Route 275 Had it not been raining this place would have been picture-perfect It was still rainy when we left home but according to the weather forecast, it would be better by noon. We left our home in Rumoi around 8 AM. We drove eastward toward our first destination which was the town of Horokanai ( 幌加内町 ). The trip was about an hour and 10 minutes long. We made several stops at scenic places along the way. Horokanai manhole cover Horokanai Shrine 's torii gate Horokanai Shrine
