Read the above in a creepy Halloween voice. The point is that Hike Club has been resurrected. I guess we’ll call this Hike Club #12.
Today’s hike was good old Kuliouou Ridge. We had planned to join the Hawaii Trail and Mountain Club to hike Kealia Ridge up on the North Shore, but the hike was cancelled due to a wildfire warning. Apparently, this is the first hike that they’ve had to cancel in something like 10 years. Bummer. But we got an early start on Kuliouou and it was beautiful – just cloudy enough to stay cool, but not so cloudy as to obscure the view. The orchids are still doing well near the end of the trail and the strawberry guava are just blowing up. We were back in time for lunch – massive burritos at BC Burrito in Kaimuki, washed down with Orange Blossom beer – with time left over for the beach.
