Over It

I’m over it already.

I think we’re all over it.

We explored central Oahu again this Saturday. The payoff was not quite worth it considering all the effort it took to get to where we wanted to go. Although the main valley did not appear to be in use, some of the plots over toward the old access road were. We verified a second route over to the plateau, by crossing the road and going through the old paint marker gaming area. We found a quicker way to access the valley near the familiar steep climb through the eucalyptus trees. There was a steep climb-out to the bottom of the ridge where the abandoned structure is located. We rode through squealing pig to the doubletrack, then explored several dead-ends along the dirt road and the road itself. Access to the old flume trail was not available because of an active agricultural usage. The trail across the end of squealing pig is blocked off, and because of disuse, the trail further in was blocked with a lot of deadfall. After all the in-and-out exploration, we didn’t want to go all the way around and out the back side, so we looped around the way we went in the last time and went out that way.
