The other day I had a Zoom discussion with some Japanese people who are in the hobby together, and they gave me an interesting idea.

That is assuming I am a Japanese citizen, but if I want to avoid 14 days of hotel （ confinement ） I could set it up that I would be staying at a family member or acquaintance's house and **walk** to that acquaintance's house in Shikoku instead of using "public transportation". I also had my own fantasy and seriously looked it up on Google. It turns out that the distance from Narita Airport to JR Tokushima Station is about 660 km, which can be completed in about 19 days on foot. However, there is a road from Kobe City via Awaji Island, but the strait bridges in front of and behind the island are car-only highways, and it seems that walking and bicycles are not allowed. So even Google maps show a ferry from Wakayama Port to Tokushima Port, which is the only public transportation available, making it impossible. It is possible for individuals to rent a fishing boat or some other small boat instead of a cab during this time.

Well, public transportation can be avoided, but if you walk, you will have to stay somewhere every day, and this is possible if you carry a tent and sleeping bag, but I am not sure if this camping is allowed. According to some people, there are quite a few small campgrounds in the area, and even some parks with toilets in the town allow camping in the open.

Oh, Carlos ・ I envy Mr. Ghosn.

On the next walking pilgrimage, the third ・ second segment, originally scheduled to take place last May, we will leave Haneda on the first flight in the morning at 09:30 from JR Tokushima Station to JR Hiyasa Station on the JR Muki Line, which only has limited express/express service no longer available at each station.

We will arrive at Hiyorisa Station in Minami Town, Tokushima Prefecture, famous for the NHK morning drama "Well Kame," which ended in 2019, by 11:00 a.m. We will buy lunch at a convenience store and start our walking pilgrimage. This time, we avoided the tough Route 55 and took the longer, seaside "Minami Awa Sunline Expressway" to the town of Muki. We pilgrims call the national highways of Shikoku "Kudo" (bad roads). Most of them are not equipped with sidewalks, and we are forced to walk on sections that are a little wider than shoulder-width apart, while large vehicles whiz by us. I am afraid of roads without sidewalks, probably because I have lived in LA for a long time.

Centennial Mid-Air Collision! 5/12/2021

A small airliner with seating for over a dozen passengers and a light aircraft collided mid-air over an airport outside Denver.
It is a miracle that both pilots survived the mid-air collision without injury. The light aircraft's
parachute opened and it made a soft landing on the ground, but I wonder if modern light aircraft are always equipped
with parachutes.

Here is the communication record with the tower before and after that mid-air collision.
