Maui, HI

Maui Side trip on Saturday June 24,2006.
.


I went to Maui on Saturday June 24. Got a lucky upgrade from Hertz. A Miata convertable that was fun to drive on the Hana Highway. I drove down the East Coast 44 miles to Haleakula National Park. I now have $35 OF THE $ 50 annual NPS fee. 25 yellowstone and 10 here.

Big Views on the Hana Hwy.


The Seven Sacred Pools was a fun spot to swim. I didn't jump from rocks like many did.

I did hike 4 miles round trip to se the Waimapo water fall. You need a helicopter to get a full view picture.

No pictures from my Sunday surfing lesson on Waikiki. I did it. It was hard work but lots of fun. I did ride the first wave and several more after a few wipe outs.

After 7 days in Hawaii I am happy to be home in my own space and I am looking forward to a few days of. I went there to work and I did get a lot done. I will likely go back to work with Hawaii Department of Transportation again next year.

Mike in Yellowstone


I had 2 days to explore the park. I stayed in a Pioneer cabin atthe Canyon. This is a great location for home base in the park. I found the north loop to be the most senic. Especially the canyon with its 2 major water falls and the deep colorful canyon walls.

This was a 8.5 hour drive from my work site in Cheyenne and 10 hours back to the Denver Airport.
