Kameole II beach

Heavy rains in the morning leave full waterfalls in the afternoon, on the road to the Kaupo gap.

The old wheels are no longer needed...as computers bring water to the sugarcane fields.

Along Maui's west coast, there is a beautful two mile stretch of three public sandy beaches, each named Kamaole.

Don't know the real name of this beach, but it is behind Azekas...famous in Maui for their ribs (ono).

Here we are around 9000 ft. at Holua wilderness cabin looking down on the clouds. If you dare, hike 20+ miles in a day through the crater and down the Kaupo Gap to the ocean. Dry cactus to wet jungle.

Friends have told me they call this "Roots".

In the 1800s, highland rivers were tapped by a series of diversion channels to provide water for the growing sugarcane industry.

Man-made water irrigation systems were built where the rain forests grow fast.
