Dangers associated with hiking in Hawai'i

[tada]

It just started raining on Oahu- it's slippery enough waling on the sidewalk. So I agree it's treacherous on the slicked packed dirt. that's why the best hiking weather is summertime when the dirt and vegetation dried out plus less mosquitos. I also agree walking through lava ok if you like to concentrate on your every next step. I saw a Bear Gryllis episode on discovery channel about this. When i was at Pohakuloa in the Army during the 1970s couple guys decided to walk up Mauna Kea. I donno how far they got. i imagine gotta watch for the fog to set in. I would think even with the exertion going uphill going downhill more treacherous because have shift your weight downward every step.

Other people want to make friends- I just want to make money.
