Surprise post today!


My picture of Honolulu from Round Top Drive.


On Wednesday, I lead the Boy Scouts as we ventured along Honolulu's Historic Trail.  I left Jane home on purpose ... and my camera by accident.   So I offer you photos from another Scout outing - camping at Kualoa Regional Park.  The park hosts a famous icon - Chinaman's Hat.   

A Scout dad with a good camera took this picture at sunrise.


Here are the scouts landing  on Chiman's Hat.
Across the water is the Koolau Mountains.


The scouts cook everything in these kettles.


Do you like camping?  hiking? kayaking?  cooking?  One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, June 16, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, June 17.


Mahalo,


Kim in Hawaii

  3. I've never gone camping or kayaking. I'm one of those "people" who like their home comforts. Plus, I'm a huge scaredy cat of bugs or wild animals. As to kayaking, I'm afraid of being tossed out into the water, as I'm not a very strong swimmer.

  4. Love hiking and kayaking, but cooking not so much. :) It's been a while since I've tent camped. Lately we'v been more prone to camping in yurts or small camping cabins.

  6. I used to go camping when I was younger. Not so much these days. My idea of camping now a days is a nice rented log cabin with running water, indoor plumbing and fully furnished. Out by a lake where we can go fishing, hiking and roast marshmallows over a fire....lol

  7. It's not something my family ever did but I had a blast when my daughters were girl scouts. For 3 yrs. I was an assistant leader but then I went as just a mom too.

  9. I don't care for any of those things! I like my comforts too much! However, I do cook at home.

  10. Beautiful pics, thank you for sharing, Kim! And the last one looks delicious :) I love camping! The best time we had was a couple of years ago when we stayed on an island in the middle of the lake.

  14. Never went camping or hiking except when I was an assistant GS leader. It seems the mosquitoes LOVE me. Too many insects for me. :) That first picture of the sunrise is absolutely breathtaking.
