Heavy rains triggered landslides in early March, covering the highway approaching Hanalei Bridge and cutting off access to the North Shore of Kauai. Construction crews have been working since just after the landslides, six days a week, with one lane open three times a day, for about 30 minutes each time. The road is not open to tourists except on Sundays.
We left our cottage by 8 this morning, and drove to the end of the road, past Hanalei. We turned around, and stopped at Haena Beach Park, for a two mile walk on the beach. Along the way, misty rain fell off and on, with the sky going from party cloudy to all clouds. We took refuge under Australian pines, to stay dry. We drove back to Hanalei and to Hanalei Bay, where local families were spending their Sunday at the beach. Misty rain didn’t seem to phase them!
