Location
On a lava field in the Manukā Natural Area Reserve in South Kona.
Participants
Plans
pah 
and lia plan to be there at around 4pm for the Saturday meetup.
Expedition
After almost three weeks on different Hawaiian islands with no luck of any hashpoints in reach, pah and lia finally went to an expedition today. The hashpoint was conveniently located around 30 kilometers from their accommodation, close to highway 11 in the Manukā Natural Area Reserve. From the highway, they continued by foot (as advised on a sign) on the Manukā Bay Road for around 2.5 kilometers in between a forest and a lava field.
Afterwards, they left the path towards the lava field for about 200m, treading lightly to avoid harming any plants (or spiderwebs) already growing in the lava. The light drizzle turned into proper rain while they were trying to climb through the sharp rocks. Still, they were very happy to make such good progress.
At around 4:15pm, they arrived at the hashpoint, did the obligatory hash dance and built a small hash marker from little twigs found in the area. Afterwards, they took some pictures but left rather quickly due to the ongoing rain. On their way back on the path, they found a few old batteries lying around, which they removed from the natural reserve to avoid their leaking chemicals to harm the plants reshaping the lava into a nice forest again.
All in all, a very successful expedition and certainly a highlight of their visit to Hawai‘i!
Tracklog
lia tracked most of the walk with her Garmin watch. The „navigation“ from the road towards the hash was done by pah via phone and GeoHashDroid app, resulting in a rather inefficient approach. The hash dance was done by pah and thus not tracked here in detail. The way back to the road was led by lia and her watch, following a nice and almost straight line.
