Jessica's Kaua'i Safari Concludes

.....

Jess wanted "for sure" to go to Kipu Falls on the way to the airport. I had never been to Kipu Falls before, so this would be a learning experience for me, too.

.....

CouchSurfer Fresca Gorte /Jess at 15b in the morning.

.....

On the way, we took a little side trip to Salt Pond Park and the salt ponds so Jess could take photos. I took a few...

Then, on to the falls. When we were on Kipu Road, I took a likely side road in the direction of the falls. I drove past parked cars to see where the road led...

.....

This fired my curiosity.

.....

...the road led to some interesting Kaua'i history:

.....

William Hyde Rice Memorial.

William Hyde Rice, "The Grand Old Man of Kauai" starts out Chapter 3 of this linked document.

Kipu Falls

.....

The two main activities here are swinging out on a rope, letting go and falling into the water and jumping off the top and splashing into the water. My activity was to sit in the shade and try to get a shot of a jumper IN THE AIR and try to get a shot of Jess' Jump. The problem is that all my photos are "delayed action" shots because I push the button, but the shutter doesn't click right away. When I saw the jumper appear to start the jump, I would push the button, but all I ever got were splashes...see the splash in the Kipu Falls photo.

Jess on her way to Big Island.

Via the Internet, I have been watching the tragic California fires and man's efforts to save lives and structures on the Internet. It is sad to see such destruction. Later, when the rains arrive, there will be additional problems with muddy runoff and flooding.

Aloha, Art
