		<description><![CDATA[I've mentioned before that I really like maps. I'm a spatial person who likes to know the terrain and how its features interact. Where does this stream go, what's over that ridge&mdash;that sort of thing. I don't seriously collect maps, but I do have a box full of them at home, as well as a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've had several periods of very calm seas recently, and some friends borrowed our kayak one weekend to go offshore at Kealia beach. They paddled out over two miles and had an incredible encounter with the whales. It is illegal to approach whales in any boat, and a friend on Maui was cited by a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of all, happy leap-day to everyone!

Being somewhat of a purist who could always find his way with maps and careful observation of the terrain, I was at first reluctant to own and use a GPS. But ever since my wife gave it to me one Christmas, I've become an amateur cartographer. I carry it [...]]]></description>

When I made the maps two weeks ago, the Moloaa coastal bluff was brown, indicating the image was taken in late summer. When [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other post about the trail's history got too long, so I'll put the maps and photos in this new post.

I first walked the trail in September 2005, when it's future was uncertain. I mapped the trail with my GPS to record its exact location.  I didn't blog about the path at the time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A telephone prefix in the US is the first three digits of a local telephone number, and it generally corresponds to a locality. On Kauai, each prefix is about the size of a town, so knowing the prefix can tell you where you are calling. This information is often buried in the phone book, and [...]]]></description>

The house shook gently for maybe 10 seconds, the wall hangings banged, one cupboard swung open, but nothing fell or broke. As I was waking up, I thought it was maybe a strong wind buffeting the house [...]]]></description>
