Tracy Sports and a Top 100 waterfall in Shiga

With so many car tuning shops around, I should have my hands full with visiting them.  But, with so many around, I find that I get lethargic and decide that I will just get around to it someday.  I do manage to visit a new one about once a month and this time I visited Tracy Sports just across the river to the north.

My car next to a few examples of their work-

Possibly the same day, we drove up north, past Kyoto and onto Shiga prefecture.  

This was a first for me!  You had to open the gate your self to drive on this road-

The place was GORGEOUS. It was great being in such a beautiful place, surrounded by old building and farms and nothing commercial-

The road with the gate was not the one we were looking for so we turned around and went back down the avalanche stricken road.  We finally what we were looking for.  Sorta.  We had to pass through Gulliver's Village to get there.   Click on that link and see what kind of reality shock we got after being in such a beautiful area.

Our goal was one of the top 100 waterfalls in Japan.  That gets me every time.  Top 10 I can understand.  Even Top 20 is good.  But Top 100?  There is even a Top 100 roads list here.  Top 100 mountains.  Top 100 water.  Yeah, just water.  What the hell!  I like Top 100 things though so I guess I am glad for all these ludicrous lists.

This waterfall was quite a bit in and proved difficult for super preggers Yukino.  Soon, we made it! And, it was closed!  Yes, a waterfall can be closed.  The incredibly steep path down to the bottom where it can be viewed was closed.  Someone had died the week before.  I almost attempted it but thought better of it with the whole soon to be dad thing in my head.  Someday though. Someday, I will climb down there via the provided chain that looked really dangerous.

A bit after was few other nice waterfalls.  Not top 100 but waterfalls none the less.  Sorry for the funky picture as I had to do some extreme color editing to make it visible-
