Pololu and Beyond

A friend and former law partner, Steve Jacobson, is visiting this weekend, so we spent most of the day hiking into Pololu. Couldn't have had a nicer day.

The trail down into Honokane Nui was damaged by the earthquake, so a new trail was cut almost straight down with ropes to hang onto.  Made going down very easy and coming up wasn't as bad as I expected.

Bring back any memories?

Looking back over Pololu
I've never seen the valley floor so green.

Beautiful day, great hike, delightful company.  And some serious exercise.  Hope I can get up in the morning!
