Clarence "Sparr" Risher

Last night I van camped at the starting spot for a hike this morning. Got up at 5:30, made breakfast, packed my backpack, and got dressed. Hit the "trail" at 6:30. First and last hour were just walking easy gravel and pavement; I'll bring a mountain bike to skip this part next time. On the way in there was two hours of following wild boar trails. On the way out, an hour of bushwhacking through 3-6ft ferns and grass with progress rates as low as ten feet per minute in some cases. But the middle two hours where I was actually really close to my target destinations was worth it! I saw a bunch of new parts of one of the properties I want to buy, and some neighboring land as well. Sadly my phone didn't survive the trip, so I'm on a temp right now until I can order a real replacement. And of course then I discovered that I also broke my glassed in half. Fortunately all my photos of the hike made it to one of my two cloud storage services before it died, and some wire and epoxy brought the glasses back to life for the immediate future.
Finished the day with a stop by Kehena black sand beach for the weekly drum circle, and discovered that it moves uphill and up the coast at dark for fire spinning and more drumming into the night. I'm glad to finally understand the format of that event so I can plan to meet people there; coordination has been hard since most of us have no phone service on that part of the island.
