Manamana

This was one of my most favorite hikes ever.

 It starts cloudy.  I was hoping it would burn off.

 I've been up part of this trail already

 Well, the clouds are not going to go away.  I am on trail I've never done before, can't see a whole lot and it is getting narrow.

 Looking back

  Looking down

 Looking ahead

 The rocks are the only parts that give me pause and I think are somewhat dangerous.

 Looking back, I just came along the top of the ridge

 Now in the rain forest

And the rain starts, there is not a dry spot on me

  Still going around the valley

   It's pouring now

  First junction, left continues around the valley on the Kahakeli trail, right continues on the spine of Manamana. It gets really muddy from here on out

  And I won't be able to see anything

 The mud is the deepest on any trail I've done-shin high and there is no way to avoid it

I wonder what the view looks like

 Still going up and down

 I made it

 Oh my gosh, Clayton totally waited for me.  I told him not to, now I have someone to go down with.  Selfie because we are the only two to make it today.

 It's just rain forest, I wonder what it looks like out there

 We are on Cemetary ridge now

  Getting below the cloud line now

 Kahana Valley

 Looking back

 Rocks again

 This is the cemetery for the tidal wave victims 

I was covered in mud so went to wash up at the fish pond
