Off on an Adventure!

Recently Nirvani Tejadevanatha (camera man), Yogi Dayanatha and Yajatadeva took an exploratory journey up river. After our recent, record deluge this was a good opportunity, not only to hike through some of Kauai's natural beauty, but also to survey the many changes that had taken place following the storm. Countless trees and plants have been washed away and many rocks and boulders have been relocated. In the morning the three set out from our waterfall and walked upriver towards the mountain as far as the ford that we use to cross over to our agricultural land.

Our team sets out on their quest

Through the jungle and over rocks and streams

with all the silt and plants washed away and only bare rock remaining, our river is as clear and emerald green as ever

If you look carefully you can see the Media Studio down river

One of the few remaining trees on the banks

A perfect day to explore

This tree didn\

t quite make it'

In some places, deep ruts were carved in the river bed

They reach the river ford

We\

ll pretend that Yajatadeva meant to fall into the water'

a good chance to cool off from the hike

Time to make the return journey

Bali Hai looks a lot different than it used to

Om sweet Om
