Road to Hana and More

The Road to Hana!We got up early to get on the road! Took yogurt & granola with us to eatlater & caffeine! Hit the road at 7:00. Stopped at Costco to fill up withgas, then we were really on our way. We had a great drive! Not too muchtraffic. The road was not as crazy as our trip around the other half of Maui.Beautiful views & lots of water falls. There is very little parking by thefalls. Lots of “No Parking” signs. People are also not supposed to swim! It hasbeen a bit rainy so the water was really rushing! We planned to have our yogurtat the YMCA Camp, but we couldn’t find it. Close to where we though the Y was,we found Ke’anaePark. It was great! Beautiful views & a restroom! There were lots oftour vans there. Nora asked a guide about the Y camp. It is closed! We keptdriving thru Hana up to a Congregational Church where Charles Lindberg isburied! Beautiful spot. Big banyan tree in front of the church. We went back tothe HaleakalaPark Visitors Center at the SevenSacred Pools. Set off on what we thought would be a short hike. In therain! Did a loop to see the ocean & pools, then on to view the waterfall.At a sign along the way it said it was 2 miles to WaimokuFalls. After a brief discussion we forged on (of course). Saw another bigbanyan along the way. It was humid & occasionally rainy. The falls werespectacular! 400 ft! a great hike! 4.6 miles. Had lunch near the parking lot…thenit started to rain! Headed home. Uneventful drive. Went to Long’s for suppliesbefore going to the condo. I finished up the chicken soup by adding ourleftover veggie, pasta & chicken stuff along with the cauliflower rice webought. Late dinner & sleep!
