Adventures in Hawaii: Best/Worst hike ever

Welcome back. I went on an adventure with Sariah Anderson and Courtney Bow today. It was quite fun. It was definitely the worst hike ever. But, it was fun. And we were happy. Let's start with 9:30 am. We meet in front of my dorm and start walking to the trailhead. Sariah says, "Oh, it's this other way" And I say, "ok" but then it wasn't. So we asked this guy who Sariah knows and he said, "Oh go that way (the way we were going) and follow the road all the way down" so we start walking again. But, we couldn't find the street that he was talking about, so we wound up next to a cemetery, which happened to have a dump right behind it (weird spot, I think)

But, we saw some cool stuff. It was fun. All this time, I call my roommate Khai No (who is the coolest roommate ever) and he told us where to go. We crossed over this creek

And then laughed at these signs which is right next to the trailhead:

So we get on our way. We find a mango on the trail and eat it! Because we're cool like that. And then we walk. and walk. and walk. and walk some more. I don't remember when it started, but all of a sudden everything we did was uphill like crazy!! Not fun. But, we keep going and going and going. And eventually we find a sign that says, "Pools -->" We were trying to get to the falls, we figured it was the same thing. SO, we go down this CRAZY forest. Super slippery. Long story short, we get to the waterfalls and there is NOTHING THERE!!! There is a pool, but it's kinda gross and the waterfall isn't going! It's not falling water! Super lame! So we start hiking. When getting to the falls, I took off my shoes and walked barefoot and when I was putting my socks back on, it accidentally fell in a gross pool of water. So I got mad and threw my other sock in. RIP beautiful socks. Then my friend Courtney Bow stubs her toe....twice! Sad. But, we make it back down the mountain and some couple in a truck gives us a ride back to campus. People are so nice :) But, here are some pics from the hike
