12-07-29 KOMPT Likeke Falls Trail

Today I went hiking with some new and old friends.  Mel Cadiente and Noe Vierra, of the KOMPT hiking group, chose a great beginners hike to break all us newbies in...Likeke Falls Trail.  Starting from the First Presbyterian Church parking lot made the the hike to the falls quick and easy.  Even with the off and on rain (everyone came out pretty soaked) we had a great time.



As you can see they were not afraid of getting wet.



Shaka Sammy.



He actually became a human dam, stopping the water flow for just a little bit.





The water really was a green color.  I was amazed.


Gotcha, Tracy.


Noe trying to shut off the water...




Mel, what you doing in them woods?



The rain stopped so everyone brought out their cameras.


What an amazing tattoo.  One of the common elements for the group members is that many sport tattoos.


Christopher making like Tarzan...otice how muddy he is.

Great that you all are out appreciating the Aina, but please consider the Mana of these sacred places before putting up any more ribbons... Not everyone that follows your markers has respect and appreciation for Hawai'i... Mahalo nui loa for your consideration.

Thanks for your comment.

The ribbons were already in place when we hiked in. Most beginner hiking trails have been well marked by larger hiking groups to assist hikers in safely arriving at their destinations.

As a beginning hiking group we follow and stick to well established trails. It is not our place to put up the blue (and in some cases yellow) trail markers.
