Have not written for a while. Things are good. Work has moved into another part of Kahuku Hills, going from steep walled, narrow floored gulches for the most part to very high ridged steep sloped valleys, with many descending finger ridges of similarly dramatic heights. Then there are the hills and ridgelines IN the valley. The valley floor is generally level or rolling, but the vegetation is constantly thick and in some cases, there is no canopy so you get lots of sun. Every day is tromp jungle stomp make your way. Yesterday I climbed in and out of THREE drainages with separating ridges up to and beyond 600 feet. Let us just say that there was some hyperventilating, cursing, dehydration, cramping, puking, climbing, climbing, climbing and a touch of despair, fury, wonderment, joy, appreciation, and genuine amazement at the terrain, the crew, and the Self. Every day I got home this week took me longer and longer to get from Filthy Sweaty Clothed Jeffrey to Filthy Sweaty Naked Jeffrey to Exhausted Showered Naked Jeffrey, to Exhausted Sarong Clad Jeffrey, to eventually transition to sleep then awake to Holy Smokes we are back in the Kahuku Hills Jeffrey.
