Kaneana Cave hike (Upper Makua Caves) 4-20-21

 This is one my last hiking posts on this page since all my travels and hikes have been re-directed to another blog. I felt this had to be here only because for years I wanted to do it and now I did it this year. Should had been on this blog a long time ago. Just for old times. Some pics.

Play it safe folks. Take care. Jesus loves you.

Wiliwilinui 2018!

Thank you Gary for this pic
At long last, the sister hikes are finally completed! I tamed Kuliouou and Hawaii Loa last year. Finally the circle is now complete as Wiliwilinui has been thrown into the fray. Let's get started!

*Hike was done on the 6th of November*


 



Rained the previous day so the hike was pretty muddy and slippery. I hiked with Gary who was visiting from Washington state. I slipped quite a bit on this trail. Lots of stairs 3/4's toward the end. I personally feel there was more stairs on this hike in comparison to the other sister hikes. The trail being muddy, wet, and slippery didn't help either. Some area will have ropes for you to climb up or down.




The summit:

 


 


 


 


 


 


 

The summit gets smaller and smaller if you go from Kuliouou > Hawaii Loa > Wiliwilinui in that order; bigger vice versa. Sky was pretty overcast so you had to wait a bit for the clouds to clear just to get some nice views. By the time you hit the communications tower the summit is just nearby. Anyhow, thank God I survived that hike. Had pizza at Pieology afterwards. It's actually a pretty long hike overall. Anyhow, take care folks and go with Jesus.

Maunawili Falls 2018!

                                                    


Me and my buddy Kev decided to do this hike. Have to admit, I wasn't keen on doing this hike but I was pretty impressed by the result at the end. Not to mention, it was good cardio. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

 


This bird was singing... no lie.
 


 


 


 



It was very muddy so be careful. Swim at your own risk. About a 2 hr roundtrip. Have a nice day folks and thank Jesus that me and Kevin didn't get hurt. Make sure you wear shoes with good grip and traction and bring mosquito repellent. Lots of Mosquitoes here, I kid you not. We ate at Kono's in Kailua afterwards.

Makapu'u once more! The Makapu'u Tidepools!


Return to Makapu'u once more. Me and my bud Kev hiked the back area a little (The look-out side). We then hiked the regular trail and hiked down to the Tide pools ( we went through the whale looking section). 

The look out area- A hidden bunker

 Quite a bit a turnout here. A few people swimming here. The tide wasn't bad at all and Dragon's Nostrils is located here as well, but due to the weak tide, it wasn't an impressive Spout. When hiking down from the Whale viewing area, remember it's not a race. Play it safe. Going back up was obviously harder.

Talk about recharge! Very much needed.

Fun movie. Got this cup but end up throwing it away. Too bad it wasn't the collectible type of cup. Anyhow, that was my day. I need more days like this.  Thank Jesus I made it out safe of the hike and for a good day. Toodles!
