The new year is starting off to a good start. In addition to my 32nd birthday, I got to hike with the best hiking crew ever: Kaleo Lancaster, Lei Yamasaki, Nate Rubio, Kale Tulang, Nathan Yuen, Duc Ong, August Smith, Ryan Chang, Brian Bautista and Mark Seto. In less than a year of hiking on Oahu's trails, I met some amazing people, and it was an awesome day to meet up with them on a partly cloudy leeward side of Oahu. This was by far the BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER!! Thanks guys!! luv-luv :)

The aftermath, and it's only the beginning.
This happens when you don't wear pants and you blaze through thick tree branches.
