Hiking

We all started on the Okokehao Trail
It started flat and calm
 then it started to get muddy and steep
 This group left and found an easier hike
 I stayed with Hub and we tried to follow Jesse, Shane and Luke.  
 The boys were way ahead of us
 Shane fell into the bushes
 Hanalei outlook

Jesse looked on the map and it showed there was only a 1/2 mile to the top of twin peaks.  Shane and Luke convinced him to go to the top.  What they didn't realize was that it was straight up and would take 45 minutes


Meanwhile the other group was hiking flat lands
so tired and hot

 The width of the trail along the ridge, just a few feet wide
Extreme hiking
 They made it to the top of Twin Peaks, not the hike we had planned for.  The boys had no water at this point and 2 1/2 hours back down.  Hub and I hid some water along the path for them as we knew they were low.  The boys devoured it and still needed more

 Jesse said the boys never complained once
8 miles of extreme hiking, mud, ropes, ridges, and cliffs

The boys were beyond exhausted.   I was exhausted and Hub and I turned around with 800 meters to go
