This Hawaiian steam locomotive was once owned by Disney artist Ward Kimball. Walt himself saw the engine once and said it was the closest to a Mickey Mouse train he had ever seen.

It’s a very nice design, full of character. One of very few tank engines crafted in the United States, as us Yanks usually preferred larger, more powerful engines with coal tenders, especially after the turn of the 20th century.

Found a rare wild chameleon near Olomana. Also met some nice girls from SLC that found me on insta and have kept in touch.

Yesterday some friends I met at the hostel and I hiked up to the "Three Peaks" on the Olomana Trail near Kailua, Hawaii. Although I only made it to the first peak, this was definitely one of the most challenging hikes I have ever done. The view was overwhelming and so beautiful. We took the city bus up into the mountains and then walked through the rainforest. The trail quickly becomes much more challenging the higher it gets. It's about 1.5 miles up to the first peak, and the second half of the trail involves quite a bit of rock climbing. It was terrifying near the top as there are quite a few spots where proper footwork and grip could mean life or death. Getting to the top was so worth it!!
