C-Rider Falls

October 13, 2018

Talks of projected thunderstorms aborted our camping hike, so I asked Ani if she could show us a waterfall hike on the West side. Thunderstorms? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I think it’s been more than twice. Slow learner. Thanks to James for dropping Ferlino and myself off […]

Okolehao Trail to Pu’u Hihimanu

October 7, 2018

Our second and last day on the oldest island in the Hawaiian chain was spent on an exhausting hike with zero views at the top. Hey, it’s the journey and not necessarily always the destination that counts. Keep repeating until it becomes believable. We couldn’t leave the hotel grounds without another photo shoot that lasted […]

Pihea Trail to Alakai Swamp

October 6, 2018

Analyn, Ferlino and myself flew over to the Garden Isle to get in some hiking this weekend. We picked up our rental car, stocked up on water and snacks at Walmart and drove to the end of the winding road to Waimea to begin our hike. Descending down the seemingly solidified eddies and currents captured […]

Kunia to Kolekole Pass

September 30, 2018

I joined Matt for a hike in his backyard today. Nobody else showed up at the appointed time, so we pushed off into the farmlands. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that give you the most happiness. But this is not one of them. LOL. Going up the trail littered with forest detritus. Briefly […]

Mount Ka’ala to King Kong Ridge

September 22, 2018

Somebody requested to hike the highest point on the island for his birthday hike. Thanks to Maureen for dropping Analyn, James, Ryan, Shirley and myself off deep in Waianae valley. Four pairs of shoes and one pair of slippers hit the much reviled road. From a fertilized egg to a sun bleached pig skull. Reading […]

Kaena Point to Pu’u Kaua

September 1, 2018

Met up with Analyn, Anne, Chris, Cisco and Ferlino to labor our way in the mountains this weekend. Thanks to Jasmin for waking up at an ungodly hour to drop us off. Walking in the footsteps of the trains that once circled this part of the island. Making our way up the rocky ridge line. […]

Holoholo (Maui Day 2)

August 12, 2018

Some of us woke up and took a morning stroll on the beach while others dreamed of unrequited romances. We took in the views of Molokai and Lanai from the beach, saw crabs scuttling into the rocks as the waves washed over them and plucked opihi off the rocks. Back in the hotel room, we […]

Holoholo (Maui Day 1)

August 11, 2018

Analyn and I flew to Maui to meet up with Andy and Matt for another adventure filled weekend on the Valley Isle. After they picked us up, we ate breakfast at Zippys and went shopping for food and drinks at Walmart. The weather pattern around the island pretty much dictated our plans for the day, […]

Kalihi Saddle (Powerlines) to Nu’uanu Pali

August 5, 2018

Met up with Andy, Chris, Matt and Olivier at the Pali Lookout to continue riding the saddles. Somebody woke up late and got to ride in the boot (trunk). Thanks to Nandor for dropping us off on the side of the highway. The other side. We don’t need hard hats where we’re going today. Maybe […]

Kalihi Saddle (Powerlines) to Moanalua Valley

July 29, 2018

Some Ohio Professor thought I was joking about taking him to the saddles for his special day. Happy Birthday! I picked up Andy from Kalama Valley and we drove to Moanalua Valley, where Analyn was kind enough to take us to the trailhead off Likelike Highway. Our first views of the day. Hope it won’t […]
