After Waipuilani falls, we decided to head towards Pali Falls. To get there, we had to get to the Pali Lookout and the Old Pali Road. We walked down to almost the end of the road, where at a distance looking mauka, you could see a waterfall chute with some water trickling down it. You could also see the rest of the lower falls while looking underneath the Old Pali Road.
We entered an obscure path. I was behind Burs the whole time and our banter was at a high level. Burs is good fun, maybe that's what happens when you're raised on the Westside of the island. When we lived in Kapolei, my kids and their friends would act the same (good fun). Now they live in Mililani and they act totally different, almost stuck up even.
It took us less than half an hour to get to what Art called "V" falls because the shape of the two waterfalls looks like a V. But it doesn't look like a V. Not that it matters. Proo was happy to chill in this spot. Although somewhat close to the Old Pali Road, it feels secluded from the action of urban life. There was also a great view of the Marine Core Base while looking outward from the falls. Kinky said that when it pours really hard, the waterfall on the right side has a decent enough size pool to wade in.
Again, we took a lot of pictures at the falls, it was such a long time that Kel fell asleep. She seemed tired from waking up early as she was supposed to go on the backpacking trip with us. I was still hungry and finished another cliff bar and my fritos. Going back was fast, especially since we were going down hill.
We finished at the Pali Lookout and said our goodbyes. The PHM was at Teddy's Burgers in Moilili. These burgers are messy, but tasty. I ate my entire burger like it was bite size and ate some of E & Proo umame french fries. I had a major kanak attack going back home, luckily E was driving. I was so tired, my job stress might be getting to me. Another fun time, these events add up. No wonder I believe that hikers are the happiest people on earth.
