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.
Looking back on our way out of Pololu
Beautiful day, great hike, delightful company.  And some serious exercise.  Hope I can get up in the morning!

How fun! That's on the list for June. I'm so pleased with how green things are, and all hikes are better when you have to use ropes to do them. Can't wait.

Those pictures are amazing! I loved the bright green valley floor one, it needs to be framed.

It looks like a splendid adventure! Where you live is spectacular.
