This is a story about an international couple raising and home educating three young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages are about pretty much anything and everything all guided by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes, Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our ongoing crazy adventure.

Home - Story - 2022 - May
May 6, 2022 - This was supposed to be a two day and one night trip but the weather had other ideas. The forecast was for a sunny day with no rain but it ended up raining, sometimes pouring, the entire afternoon. The huge oak trees around the campsite were cut anyway but everything was soaked and was simply not possible to stay overnight. The shelf was slammed for the second time by the oak trees and a few old kitchen pots were damaged. A difficult trip for sure.

May 7, 2022 - Today we returned for a second consecutive day trip to dry out the chairs and other camping stuff which was soaked the day before. The huge oak tree close to the parking area was cut and finally all the unsafe oak trees in and around the campsite were out. The weather this year has been crazy resulting in few trips to the mountain.
