This was taken prior to the beating I took in the surf...
This is the beach in Waipao Valley. It is set between two 1000 + foot cliffs and the valley is fed by a river from mountain water.

Chuck navigating the trail.


This was taken on our way down to Waipao Valley. You had to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to make it up and down. Single lane road that was a 15-20% grade with three foot deep mud holes. Our friend Chuck took us in his Jeep.
On our way to Waipao we stopped in Waiamea to have breakfast. This picture was taken at Paniolo Country Inn in Waiamea. Excellent food and very local feel.


This was taken on highway 19 on our way to Waipao to go visit/ surf with our friend Chuck.
