We took a trip back to Sachi's teen years and went up to Maunawili Falls, which is on the other side of the mountains from Honolulu, across the Nu'uanu Pali. We stopped at the lookout and took this panoramic shot.

The falls are at the end of a 1.5 mile trail into the jungly mountain forests. The trail itself was pretty treacherous with the mud that was like lubricant.  I swear, if you could straighten out the trail and take out the roots, you could take a running start and slide all the way to the falls.

The water was yoo-hoo colored from the recent rain. It's supposed to be green and a little more pretty.  It didn't stop me from getting in and jumping off a few times.  Some locals came gave me the run-down on the rocks, or more specifically, avoiding the rocks.

Apparently, this made me an honorary local.

Updated: You can watch a video of the jump.
