Hi Maunawili Waterfall

I woke up sore from yesterday's surfing fun and it was a rainy day with cold wind so I decided to go hiking today. Using my trusty guide, "Oahu Revealed," I found out that the Maunawili is a great place to hike and at the end I'll be rewarded by a nice waterfall. So off I go!


The first trail I took, it just looked like a forest. Where's the trail?


Look left






Look right


"Duh George, which way do I go? Which way do I go?" After I spent a bunch of time, about 30 minutes, trying to figure out where I was in the foilage, which was beautiful by the way, I decided to track back to the car. It was a great and also unnerving feeling to be lost all alone in the forest. I really starting thinking a lot about my life. One thing I thought, among other things, was that in San Jose I am so busy with work and work related issues, I never get a chance to concentrate on my things. Literally, I don't get downtime to concentrate on my own life. I wonder if people think something's wrong with me cause I am never close to them. Either way, this trip should help make that better.


So, I went to another trail head and found my way in. Crossed a few streams and got my sock wet and muddy!!

AND here you go, the waterfall. eehhhh, its aight :-. If I was more daring, I would have jumped off the cliffs into the water. Atleast I got some excercise...



Ok, Now I am off to starbucks to plan the rest of the trip!
