Stacy from Chez Panisse accompanied us on our second waterfall hike to Maunawili Falls. Due to recent rain we got quite muddy on the hike in and found the area full of people since it was a weekend. This wasn't a bad turn of events though, in fact, it was quite fun watching some of the more daring young men and women jump off of the cliff into the pool. Upon returning to the car we found that it had been broken into. Nothing was taken since we didn't leave anything in it but we should have left the doors unlocked.

Most people jump into the pool from where the two people are sitting in the center of the photo. Thrill seekers make a sketchy climb to a ledge about 40 feet above the pool to the right, where you can see a young man ready to jump.

And there he goes. As you can tell, he didn't just jump but instead leaped forward into a back-flip, it was pretty damn impressive.
