Remember to reset the trip data before starting

The numbers barely visible on the top right say 25.2. That is in miles and is the trip odometer. Why does it say 25.2 miles. Well, I had not reset the trip computer prior to departure. So I'm afraid there is no accurate measurement on how far the Sleeping Giant hike was.

The books and trail guides say its about a 4 mile round trip. Had I reset the trip computer, we would know this for sure, right? Guess what, I can't recall if I had reset this for the Waipoo hike either.

Conclusion, make sure to reset trip computer before you start on a hike. By the way, for Waipoo, the books and trail guides say the round trip is no more that 4 miles. Based on how long Bill and I took, our distance was less. I'd estimate Waipoo is a 4 or just over a 4 mile round trip if you park off of Waimea Canyon drive and Halemanu road. In case your wondering why the photo has been taken this way, a geocache is there, hidden in the background.
