We started the year with an adventure to the back country. Or as the ATV company that runs the outfit advertises “we did something dirty”. Touring with a group, we drove a mud buggy around the hills of Kauai. In years past, the land supported a sugar mill and also served as a location site for the filming of the movie Jurassic Park. The downpour that erupted as we were leaving the staging area ensured we got nice and dirty. The lush canopy made for a cool ride as we sped over a landscape of muddied volcanic rock. The soil was a medium brown color with a hint of ferrous. By the end, our entire bodies were covered in reddish brown mud. The ATV company supplies pants, a shirt and boots. Of course our undergarments were our own and in the end, Ryan sacrificed to the trash a pair of white boxers that didn’t stand a chance in the washer. The bumps and hum of the motor lulled Roo to sleep at different points in the ride. It was a fun day on the trail!
Dressed and ready to go.
Still not too dirty.
After this puddle, officially dirty.
We made it through, but not without the water cascading over our heads & buggy. 
Roo wasn't too interested to hear the guide talk about the history of the land. He wanted to move!
At this point Roo's thinking a group picture isn't so bad.
Now he's changed his mind.
No Roo, just Ryan and Darla.
Unsuspecting.
A tunnel with a waterfall greeting us at the entrance.
A group shot at the end.
Clean up time.
