Kalalau Camping


Day 2:

Kalalau! People! 2 Many! Time to hike! Explore! Find Fruit Somer and Chet! They started the hike yesterday and I forecasted their arrival to be about mid morning. The valleys were beautiful and reminded me of Waimanu on the Big Island. SO much mana and energy radiates from these sacred places.


While hiking the shallow depths of the Na Pali Coast, I found signs of guava in a gulch. I tuned into hunt mode and scanned the perimeter. Lots of trees, just not much ripe fruit. (On previous hikes in the woods, guava has served as a staple and could be eaten at will.) I finally found a good tree, but the guavas were 30 feet in the air. I chucked some rocks at the tree and sure enough, Somey and Chet pop their heads from around the corner. Reunited!




Rest and Relaxation were on the menu for the rest of the day. Lounging in the woods. Reading "Ham on Rye." Nap time... Aww... We talked about our treks and they saw me paddling. I felt their presence when they were hiking, but never saw them. Here's the birds eye view of kayaking the coast.
