Lake Ouma Camp & Komaga-dae Hike

Lake Onuma & Komaga-dake

HIOC had a great camp and hike to Lake Onuma area in the south of Hokkaido.

We all met up in Sapporo around 8 am and got on the road around 8.30.
The trip south is about a 5 hour drive without stops.

 Around 12 pm we only made it about halfway and decided to stop for lunch at a roadside restaurant

After lunch we hit the road again and made to the camp ground around 3.30 pm.
When we we arrived it was sunny but very windy and the wind had a chill on it that was sharp.

The camp area is free and we managed to put up all our tents with a bit of work.
After setting up our camp we got down to the real work of cooking our Mexican dinner drinking a few beers.
