		<description><![CDATA[Speaking of scooping, I saw and odd sight at Wailua beach last week and went home to get my camera. I parked between the two bridges and walked across the road next to the one-lane bridge:




Is that another courageous surfer trying to stop a super Caterpillar from invading Kauai? And just what exactly is that [...]]]></description>

Another resident, Arius Hopman, hikes the trail more regularly and has finally taken photos, and Juan posted them on Island Breath. Arius [...]]]></description>

This is not the scenic viewpoint along the highway, but a spot a little further east. If you're driving towards Hanapepe, pull off at a dirt road that starts right next to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish we knew what the Hawaiians called this place at the foot of Mount Waialeale and Kawaikini, now called the Blue Hole. That name was invented recently by haoles, but I don't like it because it's inaccurate and not lyrical. Nor is it the Waialeale Crater, as another purist points out, because it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm always intrigued by the variety of stickers you see plastered on signs around Kauai, a sort of local graffiti. They're usually surf-related, but sometimes it's hard to figure out what they mean. This one was self-explanatory, but very cleverly placed:




Tamba is a small surf shop on the main highway, north of downtown Kapaa in [...]]]></description>

Earth Day (April 22nd) was last Tuesday, and thanks to my daughter, I was actually encouraged to do something. Her preschool had planned to go to a local beach and pick up trash, so I joined them. We're a one-car household, and I didn't have the car, so I did the right thing and bicycled [...]]]></description>

Tantalizingly, you can see more falls upstream. You follow the stream further, feeling grateful it's not too steep.

Further yet, and you've found a little slice of paradise:

	First, two old articles about volunteer repairs to the trail last summer and fall. These repairs took place after my previous hike and photos of trail conditions, and [...]]]></description>
