The 3rd and 12th!!: Sagami-ko, Tsukui-ko, and Shiroyama-ko

天候や諸事情により、約2か月半ぶりの湖畔散策。
本日のターゲットは相模湖方面。

朝9時半よりスタート、相模湖→津久井湖と順調に進む。
相模湖ではソフトクリーム＆ジェラート（ACEは桃、HEROはマンゴー）で１０湖目記念祝杯。

⑩Sagami-ko

津久井湖の公園では子供たちが噴水の周りで水遊び。その中を駆け抜けて、記念撮影、パシャリ。

⑪Tsukui-ko

そして本日３湖目、通算12湖目には城山湖。

なかなか道を見つけられず、地図とにらめっこしながらの散策。

木々の中、登り道を我らがキックスクーターのGOGOとスティングレイを担いでえっちらおっちら。

⑫Shiroyama-ko

ついに目的の城山湖が見渡せる展望台に到着～。半分凍った野菜ジュースで乾杯！

This was the third adventure of this Project and we made it to 12 lakes.
Setting out early in the morning, we took a train southward and reached Sagami-ko Station at 9:30am. Lake Sagami was only a 10-minute skating away from the station, and it was nicely surrounded by lush green. This deep, lush green is such a reward when you're finally on your kick-scooter after spending hours just carrying it on your shoulders.

Lake Sagami and Lake Tsukui, our first two and also the bigger two targets of the day, were moderately easy to find. The whole adventure for today was going to be completed in no time, we thought, and we even talked about taking a nap when we reached our final goal.

Man, were we wrong.

We just couldn't find Lake Shiroyama, which was supposed to be within a close proximity. After wandering about for a while, we decided to trust our instincts and the mighty Google map, and went up the hill in search for a small, minor lake.

So many times we stopped to take a rest or to check the map. The only thing that kept us going was a hope that there will be a lake up on the hill and that we can't be climbing forever.

When we finally reached a point where we could take a peek at Lake Shiroyama, we were so exhausted, so delighted.

Three lakes down and our donation to JustGiving would be 3,000 yen today.

Next target: Lake Tanzawa, Kanagawa Pref.
