Wai`anae Sugar Plantation Tunnel #9

Today a bunch of us did a short hike into Wai`anae Valley.  One of the destinations was Tunnel #9.  I wanted to test out the extra light I bought for my GoPro Head Cam.  It worked pretty good in the tunnel, but more light would be better.  I'll buy a second LED light to attach to the camera case next time I'm at Best Buy.

Here is a short video of what it's like to enter one of the tunnels in the valley.  This bugger is close to 100 years old, dug into solid rock and is about 233 feet long.  I made a mistake on the video when I said it was about 400' long.  I was thinking of another tunnel.
