We carved out a chunk of the KST for Roger today. A very, very small chunk. Missing the chairs. Development comes at a price. Somebody got their own princess chair. Passing underneath the powerlines. Time to cut back the brush. We crossed over the Maunawili Demo Trail and began our ascent on the Piliwale Trail, […]

It was supposed to have been a beautiful day today for Aida’s WST finish hike. And it was on the West side. Never take anything for granted. Chico parked his truck near the trailhead on this chilly morning, for Hawaii people that means in the 60s and 70s. Making our way through the re-routed access […]
