After his visit to the hospital, Jim will be okay. Ferried down the East Range Road by Robert, Mabel, Ralph, and Deetsie, the rest of us gathered by our cars for a post-outing refreshment feast. And as we usually do after trail clearings, we talked story for a couple hours, unwinding and enjoying each other's company. Next Sunday, the crew is headed to Kahana to work on a route to Pu'u o Kila, a rarely visited peak in the middle of the valley. Meeting time is 8 a.m.
New volunteers are always welcome.
