My Trip to Mt Fuji

[BigTruck]

Went to Camp Fuji last year to get some training, thought I'd share some pics

Getting ready to leave Okinawa


Met some nasty weather on the ride up there


Pulling in to Yokohama




Nice sunset/sunrise (can't remember) view from the FOB


Mount Fuji


Tent City


Beautiful land up there, nice and green


We were high enough to where the clouds passed through us



Tanks!!!



Thanks for looking, enjoy!

Wow, last time I saw Mount Fuji back in the 70's it had a snow cap on it.  :o

I thought that the snow cap was permanent? Guess global warming is effecting it.  :-/

Cool, but foggy pictures.....

Very cool... and yes, I noticed the lack of snow right away; not sure if that's ever happened before.

Fun caption for #9:
"So what do you guys make of these local legends about a giant fire-breathing dinosaur?"

"I dunno, I- Ohmigod!!! LOOOK!!"

I was hoping for the snow cap too, these shots were taken in July of last year, there was still a little bit of snow up near the summit when we hiked to the top (pics coming soon)  and when I flew over it in Feb there was a beautiful snow cap, guess it just doesn't stick around all year anymore... :-/

Not because of friendly fire, but to get used to wearing it constantly when we got to the desert.



Battlefield rule #7...Friendly fire isn't friendly.  ;D

Awsome shots... we hardly ever get so close to this type of action!

Haha well I didn't get much R&R on this trip but still had a great time up there, those Geisha girls sure have an interesting background, they even go through their own boot camp  :o  

Thanks for the compliments all, shots from the summit will be up soon  ;)
