That fox is fantastic! And, man, there's a lot packed into "Ah, American."

Fantastic Mr. Fox — caught that one! Patting myself on the back for that. Gotta love Swiss efficiency. Right to the point.

I thought about making it more obvious, but guess it wasn’t needed!

4 years ago in Utoro having a beer after a hike to Rausu Lake I had a chat with young Austrian woman. She endeavoured to Rausu Mount alone (a sure way to confront a bear) and have seen two. She was modest, “ I just slowly stepped back and they left also “. If I may.

Not a problem, if its relevant which this is its all good for me. The main thing is sharing what makes these places worth visiting. Cheers.

Ask and you may well receive.

I marked that park down on the map, sounds like a worthwhile excursion from Sapporo. I'm intrigued by the solitude of Hokkaido compared with the other islands.

Absolutely, I would say in my opinion the park is the thing to plan your trip around. There are other hikes and parks that are well worth it too in the central and north. It is an incredible island.
