杉山林道 Sugiyama Forest Road
お父さんの夢は70歳になる前、日本で私と一緒にMTBに乗ることです。彼は68歳で、10月にここに来る予定です。彼は私と同じのMTBを持っていますので、私のMTBを使ったらいいと思います。私は何を使うかまだ決まっていないですが．．．。天橋立を渡って阿蘇海一周もしようかなと思っていますが、やっぱり山にも行って宮津の絶景を楽しんでほしいね。車で大江山スキー場まで行って、そしてピストンで「なぞの池」まで杉山林道を走りたいと思います。ということで、今日は久しぶりに杉山林道を走って、状況を確認しました。
My father's dream is to go MTBing in Japan with me before he turns 70. He is 68 now, and will come here this October. He has the same MTB as me, so I think he can use my bike, but I'm not sure what I will use yet. I'm thinking we can ride across Amanohashidate and around Aso-Kai Lagoon too, but, of course, I want him to enjoy the fantastic views of Amanohashidate from the mountains. So, I'm thinking that we can go to Oe-yama Ski Field by car, and then ride along Sugiyama Forest Road to 'Nazo-no-ike' and back. Therefore, I went for a ride on Sugiyama today to see the condition of the road.

ビューポイントが広くなりました。木が切られました。 The view point has got wider. The trees have been cut.
 今日は蛇を3つ見ました。ARAさん、飛び上がらないでください。これは長い～ミミズです。(笑) Today I saw 3 snakes. |  この2つのアリがこのまだ生きっている青虫を運ぶのを見ました。面白い闘争でした。残酷な世界です。 I watched these 2 ants carry this still alive caterpillar. It was an interesting struggle. It's a cruel world they live in. |
 オッ！鹿が見えます。 I can see a deer. |  鹿のお尻が目立つです。 Deer bums stand out. |
まだ若いです。 It's still young.

 木が倒れています。 A tree has fallen across the road. |  右側に簡単に通れると思ったが．．．近づいたら、とげだらけの枝ばかりです。最悪！ I thought I'd be able to pass easily on the right-hand-side, but as I got a close, all I saw was thorn covered branches. That sucks! |
道路の状況がいいです。わだちがほとんどないし．．．。「なぞの池」まで走りやすいです。 The road is in good condition. There are almost no ruts. It's easy to ride on to Nazo-no-Ike.
 最近、レンズのカバーがおかしい！ My lens cover has been acting up lately. |  ここに可愛い瓜坊を見ました。あそこに森に入って逃げました。 I saw a baby wild boar here. It ran into the the forest there. |  足跡が見えます You can see it's foot prints |
田んぼが綺麗な季節です The rice fields look good at this time of year
棚田もきれいです The terraced fice fields look good too
 「なぞの池」に到着 Arrival at Nazo-no-Ike |  夕方から雨が降るそうですので視界が悪いです It's suppose to rain later in the afternoon, so visibility is bad |
 冠島のオオミズナギドリについて知っていましたが、ウミネコというのは何でしょう。 I knew about 「oomizunadori」 'streaked shearwaters', but what are 「ウミネコ」? Literally means 'sea cat' |  帰ったら調べました。カモメの集類です。 I looked it up when I got home. It's a 'black-tailed gull' |
