"If you don't know where you're going, any bus will do"

Huelo Point, Maui, Veteran's Day Weekend (My 42nd birthday present too). Mari and I said "the heck with dengue fever - let's go to Hana!"

	First waterfall we stopped at along the road to Hana		Candid camera shot of Mari trying to snap a photograph of the falls
	Closer shot of the same falls - almost fell in the pool trying to get this shot		Scenic view of the cliffs along East Maui from the Hana Highway
	View of a small community out on a peninsula on the way to Hana		View of small, isolated farming plots along the Hana Highway
	Long distance look at one of the many falls on the way to Hana		Small church and community along East Maui shores
	The Hana Highway from a scenic overlook		Closer view of distance waterfall
	One of so many bridges over the so many streams on the way to Hana		The "new" Hasagawa General Store in Hana, Maui
	The southern slopes of Haleakala, near Kaupo Gap		Looking east along the South Maui shore
	Interesting two-faced stone relief at Tedeschi Winery		The humble sign in front of the Tedeschi Winery
	Our chariot awaits to take us away from the winery		The INCREDIBLE view from the Guest House at Huelo Point Flower Farm
	The same INCREDIBLE view from the upstairs loft/bedroom at the Huelo Point Flower Farm Guest House		Sunrise on the seacliffs at Huelo Point, Maui
	The embracing breakfast nook on the lanai (and the hottub!)		Senor Gecko waiting for flying insects on the sliding screendoor
	A vista of the central Maui plain and the West Maui mountains along the road to Polipoli State Park		Another vista of the West Maui mountains from Polipoli State Park
	Interesting natural sepia lighting along the Redwood Trail in Polipoli State Park		Towering redwood tree in Polipoli State Park
	Towering redwood trees abound on the side of Haleakala in Polipoli State Park		Mari takes a moment to ponder the enormous redwoods
	Ferns are shaded below the giant redwood trees		The trail continues on through the forest
	A big patch of hydrangea flowers grow wild near the abandon ranger cabins		More hydrangeas
	A huge hydrangea near the abandoned ranger cabins		Mari pauses (thankfully before we trudge back up to the top) to enjoy the flowers
	The view directly in front of an abandoned ranger cabin		One last look back at the abandoned cabin
	Another abandoned cabin, this one much larger than the one surrounded by flowers		The trail back up was occasionally bathed in sunlight in the late afternoon
	But the clouds started to roll in and creep through the trees		Smoky clouds engolfing the mountain
	More brief moments of sunlight along the trail as the clouds pulled back off the mountain		And then the clouds come creeping back again
	Mari reflects on the enormous tree that she's just knocked down with a mighty blow		Another view along the Plum Trail
	The clouds really began to build as the afternoon progressed		The end of the Plum Trail and the beginning of the final push back to the jeep (which just happens to be waiting for us at about 6200' elevation)
	One last look down Plum Trail before we make the final ascent		A vista of La Perouse Bay from the Haleakala Trail
	Closer view of La Perouse Bay from the Haleakala Trail		Peeking out from a cave along the Haleakala Trail
	Looking back down at the cave along the Haleakala Trail		Mari rejoicing that we are back to where we began!
	The noble Jeep awaits to return us to civilization (after we quaff a couple of cold brewskis!)		A solo steak producer along the road back down the mountain
