Mokapu'u Lighthouse Hike

This past Sunday (November 11, 2001)I FINALLY got around to hiking up to the Makapu'u Lighthouse. Most of the pictures on this page were taken during that hike. I will try and comment on most of them for you.

Okay, so maybe I hiked above the Lighthouse. They tell me that access to the actual lighthouse is limited. I may see if I can get to it another day.

One of the beautiful scenes near the top of the trail.

Halfway up, this was my view.

Toward the very beginning. They told me there are tidepools down there.

If you follow the road around those mountains, you will come to where I live!

This pictures immedietely above and below are of the hill? we climbed around during our hike. No straight line up for us!

The first 3 pictures on this side were not taken during my hike. When we were finished, I went to my favorite "thinking spot" and took a few pictures. They are all from the "Blow Hole Lookout."

This is the Blow Hole itself. Not the greatest picture, but you can get the idea.

The sea was very active that day.

Some of the people at church call this Paradise Beach (or was it cove?)and say that there are almost always sea turtles down there. You have to hike down to the beach. Looks like fun!

I don't know how well you can see them, but the things that look like little lakes are actually tide pools. There were some people playing in them as we were hiking up. I was told that it was too late in the day to start hiking down. I saw what they meant. On our way back down, tide was coming in and waves were crashing over that "peaceful little spot." It pays to listen to people who have been around here for a while! I was told that people occasionally see Monk Seals near those pools.

Another beautiful scene from about halfway through the hike.

This was the very first picture I took on the hike.

This pic was taken from the highest point of our hike.

This picture is to prove that I was there. My shirt flying out and my hair flying up testify to how windy it was at that spot. Believe it or not, when we left the trail to climb up to the bunkers, it got windier. I am SO glad there are no pictures of my hair after that! It gave new meaning to windblown! haha

This last picture is to prove that I do have friends! (At least a few.) Leslie works with me in Children's Church at Hope Chapel. She is with her husband and oldest daughter. I am not sure if I should attribute it to her small stature or the wind, but she and her daughter almost blew off the mountain that day!
