Pillbox Hike

Today we drove to the North-ish side of the island for a hike and to hang out at the beach. 

Driving on the Pali Highway and going through a tunnel to get through the mountain range.

The trail head for the Pillbox Hiking Trial.

Manana Island and Kaohikaipu Island State Bird Sanctuary. We plan to kayak out to them sometime.

Here is a picture of Topher. He is sad because he forgot to bring an SD card for his camera. 

In this picture you can see flat island. (It's the one that is flat.)

Topher in one of the bunkers (pillboxes) standing at what I think is an old gun turret. 

Since he could not stop to take pictures of the roses, he did not stop to smell them either.  (In this case the roses were cactus.) 

That's one of the bunkers in the mid-ground. 

This is a seven picture panorama I took. However when you take ~300 degrees of rotation and make it flat it does not look right at all. I don't real know how to describe how warped this picture is so I included a video for better perspective. On an unrated note, if anyone knows the two in the picture let me know because if someone had a picture of me like this, I would want  a copy.

This is a picture of an old Volcanic Bomb. I know this from my many years studying rock formations while I was getting my degree in geology.*  

There are golf courses all over around here.

 I did said we also went to the beach after this hike but I'm making that a separate post. (Because I take too many pictures.)

* That's a lie. Really I just think it is a Volcanic Bomb because I did a quick Google search, compared it to other pictures, and I thought Volcanic Bomb sounded cool to put in my blog. If anyone actually knows anything about it, please leave a comment below.
