Rick in front of the dry cave. You can't really see into it that well, but it goes back quite a ways and is massively huge. I thought shoving him in the foreground would help to show its size, but it's kinda dark behind him. Oh well, you'll have to take my word for it.

The ocean near Kilaeua lighthouse. I just thought this was a neat shot of the ocean...

We were at a wildlife reserve and I chased down a nene (aka the Hawaiian goose, the state bird) for this photo which I think was frowned upon by the wildlife sanctuary, so I thought I would put it up. If you got it, flaunt it, right? Hope you enjoy!

Hi. My brother-in-law, Jon T. of Luther fame, turned me on to your blog. I spent a few days in Kauai last Christmas and have been to most of the places you are exploring.
Be sure to hike the Kalalau Trail. We hiked the two miles to Hanakapiai Beach and then two miles up the valley to Hanakapiai Falls on Christmas Day. Worth the trip. The trail above the beach is very undefined and crosses the river many times. Be sure to go on a dry day as the river tends to flash flood during rain periods. Actually, the entire Kalalau Trail tends to turn into a river when it rains. Places where the trail was once dry turn into raging runoff chutes of water.
I think that you need a permit and a few days to go past the Hanakapiai Beach. If I would have had time I would have liked to hike to the Kalalau Valley, but I didn't.
Enjoy your time on Kauai. You're not a newlywed or nearly dead, but if sounds like you're having fun.
Enjoying the pictures,
AJ
