Today in Hawaii-Nei 7/15/20 Polo Beach and Kaena Point State Park hike

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

1 Timothy 6:17-19

Polo Beach

Mokuleia Beach colony to your left

Mokuleia Beach on your right.

He/she came to greet us!

So my friend wanted to check this place out. It was a nice beach. There was a nude sunbather. I heard that it is illegal but people come here to do it anyway, so if you ever come here, don't say you weren't warned. The beach location is private property owned with public beach access with Horses fenced around the area. There is also the famous log/trunk to your left as you enter the beach that people like to take instagram photos with.

The Rock says keep going.

Huts and camping ground

This the only place you will find shade early on. You can see that people camp out here and party due to lots of shards from broken beer bottles left behind.

The Bird Sanctuary

Well, that was that. We didn't go past the bird sanctuary though I saw some people behind the fence. The sanctuary trail leads to the Makaha side where the other point trail exists; It is also the area where the heart shape puka can supposedly be found. For those who are familiar with this area, no, we failed to find the Arch. We didn't entirely hike the coastal hiking areas all the way so we missed some areas. This probably calls for a re-visit. As we made our way back to Mokuleia side. The beach area (one with the most sand), started to become populated. You can bring your 4 runners and jeeps in here but a permit is needed. Mahalos. Thank you for visiting. Thank Jesus I survived despite feeling tired throughout the day. Thank you Jesus for another week, another adventure. Jesus always delivers!

*Update 7/15: NVM, just found out the arch is also on west side.*

The long way back.

Today in Oahu, Hawaii 6/30/20: Laie Point Sea Arch, Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove, Laniakea Beach, and Haleiwa Alii Beach.

La'ie Point (La'ie Point State wayside Park) Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Ditto on the Tamron Also known as "Lizard Rock." There is a story behind this but I won't divulge into it. You can look this up online. I finally got a chance to check this place out. A very nice scenery with a small parking lot. Also folks, try to park in a fashion where others can park and enjoy the view as well. There was a car that literally, in a sense, double parked (took up lots of space) forcing me to nearly park near an edge. Please be courteous to others. We want to enjoy the view and grab memories as well. Sunset Beach A shot under the tree A shot under the tree: the opposite direction As you enter the beach, to your right is the famous 100 year old tree that everybody sits and takes a pic with despite a sign telling you to not sit on it.

Fairbanks, Alaska 3/6-3/9

Here was the ender to my trip before my return to HNL. First time to Alaska and hopefully it won't be my last. Santa Claus House Possibly the best place to shop for gifts if you are near here. It's about 20-25 mins south of Fairbanks. Antler Arch The museums here are free. Take advantage. The arch was close by as well. Ice Museum Fairbanks $15. Good for family, couple, or group pics. Regardless, there is a slide here that is worth the admission. Around the area, there is a Moldovan restaurant named Soba. It was my first time and worth the try! Pioneer Park Closed during these times, its a neat touristy spot to walk your legs. You can walk inside but most shops and attractions are closed however. Come during summer. Pikes Waterfront Lodge This was the place where I initially wanted to stay at first but Airbnb often provide cheaper results. The Love Alaska sign is here and there are some ice sculptures as well. I say this is the hotel that is worth a see if you are here. My ...

Makiki Valley secret waterfall Oahu hikes

Because it's considered a secret I can not divulge how to get there. If you recognize some of the landmarks in my pics, then it should be good enough to tell you where it is. The waterfall is found in Makiki Valley loop trail so good luck. It is roughly about 20-30 mins in from the entrance. I did this with the meetup.com crew. So enjoy the pics. If you find it then good for you. And remember to keep it a secret. The waterfall Enjoy. It's a nice scene if you do find it. You can hike to the top of the fall in which I did. It's like several minutes if anything from the bottom. Just always watch your footing. Take care folks. Thank you God and thank you to the meetup.com crew. Laters.
