camping

It's been a while since I posted, hasn't it?

Today's photo is from a camping trip we went on while we were in Hawaii over Christmastime. Casey's friend Sage got permits for the three of us to camp for two nights in Kokee, the state forest up in the mountains in the central part of the island. It was a very nice camping trip, actually. Casey's sister loaned us a bunch of her supplies (tent, sleeping bags, chairs, propane grill), and we ate very well, hiked around some trails I'd never seen, and generally amused ourselves without electricity for a few days.

Our camp site was in a grove of tall pine trees (I'm sure I should know the type of tree, but I don't), overlooking a river, which was easy to climb down to if we wanted to bathe (which I didn't really). (In my defense, it was cold.)

The photo for today was taken while standing at our camp site, looking out at the hillside across the river. (Elevation! How I've missed you!)
