Aprill 27 (Day 6 - Hike Reef Bay Trail, Scout out Haulover Bay, Dinner at Surf Club Cantina)

April 27 (Day 6 – Hike Reef Bay Trail, Scout out Haulover Bay, Dinner at Surf Club Cantina): We left early for this one! It is the hardest hike on the island. Headed out at 7:45. Also, we wanted it to be cooler! Hit the trail just before 8:00am. The trail is all downhill to the beach. There are lots of informational signs along the way, bot about plants & history. Soon after we began , it started to rain & pretty much rained all the way down! Made it cooler! Just before the 2 mile mark, we took the side trail to some petroglyphs by a beautiful pool. Really neat! Then back to the main trail to the beach. There is another old sugar mill down by the beach. We saw remains of it all the way down. At the beach Rod & Pam got in the water. I was already soaked from the rain! Jim & Pam saw some rays from the beach, but Rod didn’t see much in the water. The hike back up was not as bad as expected. The rain probably helped! After we cleaned up & rested, we went to dinner at the Surf Club Cantina. Once again, a good meal. We were hungry! I had a burrito, Rod had fish & chips. Pam & I went to the store after eating. Before we at dinner, we went on an exploratory mission to Haulover Bay. We first tried to go to Lameshur Bay, but the road was too rough for our car (Rav4). The south side of Haulover Bay is really pretty. There is a manchineel tree there, which is very poisonous.
