#HFS2018

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.

I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Day 12 - Blowhole, Natioal Botanical Gardens, Waimea Canyon, Kokee, Kalalau Valley

Our final full day has come.  A quick stop at the Trash Conglomerate (I got gas in stead), the blowhole, and the front of the National Botanical Gardens (which I will be touring in a couple of days!)

We get to go and see the Waimea Canyon. It is considered the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. 

Dr. K talked about how it was formed and then we look at a monument that is in the National Park.  It was "snuck" in as a monument, but it really is a memorial. 


A quick stop at the Kokee Museum. 


And the most beautiful view in Hawaii! This is the Kalalu Valley.  I will get to see it from a boat in 2 days. One of "my" days, I will be going on a boat and snorkel.  I am so excited!


The trail down to the Alakai Swamp was a little muddy. 


On the way down the mountain, we stopped at the Iliau Loop to see the final of the Silversword Alliance. 


Another beautiful view of Waimea Canyon. 

Back to the hotel for Pizza and a shower!
