Eating Breakfast at the lodge in Koke’e State Park, Kauai, Hawaii

My favorite tea ever Black Lychee in Kokee tea.

We are wrenching and find out all the trucks happens to have electrical problems…hmm. Kinda got one[ still does it…1:3 towed on private land hmmm??? I Follow up on that, the mahiai farm ohana by night fall supports.] an’ den an’den..we made it to Polihale waiting for the crew. We got shots before trucks out again…proof the warrior style marching of Kaua’i is long but not as hard…they came laughing and chatting , pacing themselves in the luckiest OVERCAST day!! It was the heat before the storm, and the storm passed for this. Blessings to that! Like who gets to paddle and trek tearoa kaikoa style over 25 miles. My hanai dad does iron man Mokuokeawe after months fishing on boat. These guys don’t do this on a daily, and there is kids. Not including Temana 😜 he was into wrenching his bike to ride with @uncle_hoffy but took long so we drove out once we flip some wires. Can’t believe how nice and cool it was out there for them, I wanted to walk in slippahz but Temana didnt want to drive either , he was so into learning how to video them. As he waited at one spot, he practiced his ukulele…and they kept walking and jogging past the Pali, into #MokuoMana past the Mānā Plains Forest Reserve and Kawaiele Waterbird Sanctuary. Passing Kokole Beach Point unseen by path of Haole koa trees, but if you look at the cliff across it, that’s Kaunalewa Ridge Near “Mount Mana Opala” thats what I called it in 2008 to make a point marker for county hearing about sand moving and watch towers 😜🧐, Puuhonua and #WaiawaAhupuaa , #NiihauDistrict boundary towards the foot of Kekaha “the marker [brackishwater]” having passed 18 ridges by the time they get to Pokii Kauna Ridge. Kekaha is a fairly small section and there sits Pali Waiakalakou where the then Mama Lauae Niihau-Kaua’i Olelo First Immersion Second-Language Homeschool (@kanakapcs), and now OHA #punanaleooniihau DOE SoH @kekahaelementaryschool is across @crossfitkekaha and @kealafoundation. There the gym is at the entrance to the Kekaha road to #Kokee Preserve. They should make it by evening at the pace they are at. We would make a detour and enjoy the sanctuary birds before runnin’ into Aana and Makua cousins escorting me home. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcAadVzrC0Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
