Description
These ladies are experience hikers to this "Muliwai Trail" . They are filling up their water containers at this first water falls. The one with the orange backpack has a house and farm in Waipio Valley and has hiked to Waimanu Valley for over 20 years. They are celebrating her birthday at Waimanu Valley. They usually camp out for a week or more but this time they were suppose to camp only for 3 days. They had 3 wine bottles for their party. But their stay was shorten as the rescue helicopter came to take all campers out of the valley because of the tsunami warning. I’m glad they got out safe. Aloha and thank you for viewing

This is a super shot Sharky, very clear and colourful.
I love the way even the dog has his own bag to carry. I guess the rainfall level is high with those covers over their packs.
Lovely spot! Full of gorgeous plants! Excellent shot! (:
The dogs were carrying their own food. Aloha
Other peoples lives are so very interesting!
A wonderful shot on the trail, dear Errol. I too am glad the ladies got out safe. Hugs and Aloha. Diane. xx
A great picture and a great story. Thanks for sharing.
Great shot. Hope all is well there.
looks like a great place great capture
Nice shot, looks like a great spot to hike and camp.
How wonderful, and I don't know if it was so bad they had to cut things short...to be rescued by helicopter would be a super adventure!
A birthday she won't forget soon--!!
I love the ferns growing on the sides there at the little waterfall. I watched all three of the videos yesterday and noticed these ladies and the dogs. I'm so glad they were safe.
Engaging series Errol. Yes, my prayers to those effected by the Japanese earthquakes and tsunami.
Great shot! :)
The equipment carried by each hiker really makes this shot for me. Makes me wonder about the weight. Hopefully, although big...these are also relatively light. I did my "backpacking" in the army...now, I leave it to others:)
I was looking at your orange back pack'n ladie's shoes, check'n out the toes when my Wife spotted her padding on her heels - lol... I think better hiking shoes are warranted - lol.... I saw the vido, I like that barkless tree at the end.... at the begining of your tape, you start to pan to the left, there is a cool tree there and then you quickly scan back to the right - not shoot tex - lol
@mikeerson.... I had asked them about those shoe wear, and they said they rather use those type of foot wear especially crossing thru the rivers and they were OK climbing up the donkey trail too. That lady in Pink, her shoes/footwear cost $100...I could argue with them on the lava fields but this is their teritory and has been doing it for over 20 years. They are much more experience than most people that hike on this trail. Aloha
All in all a shot with a lot of story~ =) Good one to post! Also love the dog with it's own pack, these ladies are smart and have things thought out. I'm so glad the authorities had the foresight to rescue before any injury could occur.
I like the dog. a former client had one and she was one over active dog.very candid shot
Interesting shot and story!
GREAT CAPTURE
A lovely place to hike too, glad they made it out safely.
the trail do look lovely and a lovely photo too. Is that your video? Did the ocean came up on your island ? i did not hear much about the water around your area. or even south America where is was pointing to on tv? If it do show it I missed it
NEAT SHOT
This looks like a fantastic spot to get ready for the hike. Great shot! Dana

They need a bigger dog to help carry those loads!
