Camp Smith Trail (Halawa Heights) - June 28, 2015 

Proo invited the OAG's to the Camp Smith-Halawa Trail. Both E & Proo said they've done it before and said it wouldn't take too long. I didn't know what to expect and I had Jared's game at 2:30pm, so I couldn't be out hiking all day and my plan was to bail if the hike was taking too long.  

We met at the end of Palaialii Place at 9:30am. Joining the hike today was an all OAG crew ~ E, The Judge, Proo, DJ, Sensei and Burs. We started hiking for about 5 minutes and hit a junction which took us to another trail. The Judge said, we on Aiea Loop? After further inspection he was right. We were on the Aiea Loop trail. E thought it was anti-climatic as he thought it was a continuation of the Camp Smith trail. After some reflection, I can see why people who hike Aiea Loop mistakenly get to Camp Smith by accident. 

There is a money view of H3 on the Camp Smith trail from the power lines. We hung out for a bit and decided to back track and tried to find the Aiea plane wreckage. When we got there, only E went down to take pictures of the plane wreckage as it started to pour cats and dogs and the trail going down towards the plane wreckage became slippery. After a short stay, we went back to the powerlines. E called Sensei to see when he was ready for the PHM. Low and behold, E claims that when Sensei called him on his cell phone, Sensei was passing the area where we could see H3. Erik claims he saw Sensei's car on H3. I can't believe that!

The hike out was fast, we saw a fire shelter, which was pretty cool. The PHM was at Shiro's as it usually is in the Aiea area. We had good fun catching up. We haven't seen each other in a while.
