Back in the early part of the last centry, someone decided they needed a little more water in their valley for sugar cane production. So they dug a couple of tunnels through some mountain ridges. After they were abandoned, few people knew about them except for a few hunters following pig trails on the state land up in the hills. The guy who wrote the Ultimate Kaua'i Guidebook learned of them a few years ago and put them in his book. Upon reading about them, I decided I had to go.



The book had them in the "Adventures" section, rather than "Hikes," so that was my first clue to the difficulty. Then I read closely, trying to picture what was between the lines, and decided I could handle it. I was right, but...

Okay, this gets long. It took me a couple of hours just to write it. You don't have to read it, but there are pictures. While I hope it's an entertaining read, the main thing is for me to get it down for my memory.

( it really was an adventure )
