Judd Memorial Trail and Jackass Ginger Pool, Dole Plantation, 1845 Summer Palace

We made it to the Jackass Ginger Pool, royalty used to slide down the sides of this pool in the mud and go swimming. We got off track on the way back

and found some Hawaiin ruins, well, we weren't the original discoverers, but it wasn't in the hike book or Moon's Guide, so we felt like we just stumbled accross it in the jungle, but lo' and behold-there was another trail leading away from it and more tourists on that trail. How did theh know about it? Actually, on an earlier hike to this area another hiker told us about this area, but it is a restricted area-whateva'! It was a summer palace built in 1845 for King Kamehameha III. Next we went to Jack in the Box in Waimanalo and hung out on the beach.

I accidently added pics from the Dole Pineapple Farm, we went there a different day and ate pineapple soft ice cream waffles cones. Yes, I've gained 10 pounds on this trip!
