I took the van over a few years ago for a couple weeks. Surfed around, caught a nice tube at Maalaea for the first time (after 40 years in HI). First visited many months in '68, the Valley Isle always gets me high...

I planned to make more trips, but a quake wrecked the wharf at Kawaihae, so no superferry for us (yet?). So I don't know when I will make it back over there.

My next trip off island will prolly be to Oahu, maybe later this summer. I'm pretty sure I will go to INdia next year. But Maui is in the back of my mind...

anywhere there's cows, brah...

Used to have some good sites locally, but then the cows went away, so no more.

On Maui, anywhere there's cows between Kahului and Hana, should be lotsa pastures around Paia, Haiku (look up mauka). Just add rain...

yeah bro its been raining good for us here.

'and i live in Kula, so im surrounded by pasture.

they just started herding about 1000 head of cattle so im gonna go check again in a few weeks.

but me and the lady went out and found NADA. when there shouldve been hundreds

yeh justme, funny thing about the pies. There has to be enough of them, sort of a critical mass, to generate enough colony to flush really well.

If it rains hard, all the pies get washed away. Not enough rain, well...they all dry up. If not enough cows, left in one pasture long enough, then there's not enough pies to reach the critical mass. There may be the odd one or some pajaritos, but the big flushes come when there is a lot of pies, and just the right amount of rain over weeks to colonize and fruit them well. Summer is best for heat, humidity and proper rains, but the rancher has to do his part and leave the cows in one pasture long enough to build up a good amount of pies.

So look for the pastures where there have been cows munching for a while. Ranchers move them around to rest the grass. Pesky ranchers! Lawlz...

thanks
