...pix and story to follow as this week and the post event moratorium allows...

Two days ago, "Day 7" was the most enjoyable day because of the "far from the maddening crowd" aspect of hiking through a nature preserve...and along the Pacific Ocean.
Today, "Day 9" was the most physically and psychologically challenging day because of the longest distance of the 10 days, almost 18 miles; and the heaviest vehicular traffic encounter day with Farrington and Kamehameha Highways being the major venues. Add to that the wear and tear of the 120 miles in 9 days...and you begin to understand why the feeling of fatigue is so overwhelming.
Today we had these five, left to right...Mac, Utu, Curtis, Desiree, and Pastor Luke from Hau`ula's "Church Without Walls." They are seen here coming through Kapolei...
...and these two, Matt and Darlene...
These 7 comprised our walkers for today.

A day ago, we started seeing weather predictions that a storm to include lightning and thunder, a rare treat in Hawai`i, and flash flooding was moving in out of the west to hit Kauai first but then to continue moving across the state. The prediction was that the first symptoms would start to appear late today and that the possible "worst" would occur tomorrow. At almost midnight right now, we have been having very heavy drizzle for about an hour and even heard some thunder too.Tomorrow may be a challenge......
