Today we ventured into the Waipio Valley. Luckily we had a 4-wheel drive, a new white Jeep to take us down into the valley. The grade was 25 degrees or more in places, and we had to forge through deep streams. At the bottom, there were only a few people on the beach- a black sand beach, fine as powder. I swam in the waves near a place where a fresh stream flowed into the ocean, so the water wasn't salty. It was like being in "Lost" for real!
