Ka'ena Point...

Sunday when we took our drive, we went out to Ka'ena Point or where
the road ends right past Mokulei'a.
Normally there are people out there sitting in their cars watching the
surf  in the parking lot or down on the rocks.

Sunday there was a lot of activity.
I snapped this photo of all these cars leaving the area that used to be off
limits to cars.  There had been these big, huge rocks blocking cars from going out there…
but not anymore it seems.

Ka'ena Point is a very, very protected spot.
There are many endangered species of not only
birds, and seals but also plants.  That's why it's
been "off-limits" to vehicles.


We were wondering if the ban had been lifted (which seems unlikely)
or were these some of the people looking for the lost kayaker .
We saw some large groups of people gathered along the shoreline
in other spots.  Sad story.

Needless to say we hope that the vehicle ban at Ka'ena hasn't
been lifted. It would be sad to see so many cars out there all the time.

I don't know if it has been lifted but the trail has always been open for off road vehicles from my understanding. they are supposed to stay on the trail and not create any new ones. we used to hike out there and go on walks frequently and there are always off road vehicles when we go for the last 5 years so I'm not sure about the ban. maybe its further out now. I've hiked in many miles and the off road trail for those vehicles keeps on going....
