Driving up the Leeward Coast | Hiking to Ka’ena Point | Lower Makua Cave On this particular weekend, Curtis had only half a day off, and that day happened to be rainy all over the island. It would have been easy to just forego our weekend adventure and enjoy a lazy day at home — but we both knew that we… Read More
