The scoutmaster asked me it I'd take the scouts up to the back of Waipio for a five-mile hike this morning. We met at the Church, and it looked like it was going to be way too wet, so we opted for the hill above Anna Ranch. 
First stop was the pond, of course.
It was rainy and blustery when we dropped into the pond. By the time we came out, it had cleared and was windy, but beautiful. So onward and upward!
It was very green. The kids had a good time -- the Samoan on the left walked/ran the whole way barefoot!
Here's an ohia flower for you botanists.
We hiked up higher than I've been before -- quite a bit above the top of Anna Ranch. It was beautiful!
Here's a little fall and pond I'd forgotten about.
I came home tired, but it was nice to get out.

Beautiful hike! Love it up there. Will you take us this summer?
If we ever back it back there, will you take us there?! It looks so beautiful!
Very fun! I'm glad you got to do that. Did anyone swim at Anna's Pond?
No. Too cold and hadn't planned on it.
You are a good man to help the scouts, Bill. The hike looks pretty fun with or without scouts.
D.
So beautiful. What a fun looking hike!
