PostQuote from max.patch: “Since the ATC is attempting to change the definition of a thru hike to "hike the trail in 12 months and it doesn't matter how you do it" and there's a "hostel" at every road crossing, I'm looking forward to reaching age 84 and cheesing my way up and down the trail one more time ” Yes, might as well go for the age record.

BT, The Penobscot consider Katahdin to be a sacred place, the home of the God Pamola. Pamola was an angry God, and the summit was considered taboo for mortals.

PostQuote from Astro: “Quote from IMScotty: “Quote from max.patch: “I gotta ask the obvious question...why are they sometimes dressed and sometimes not? ” Looks like they have grown more modest with time. ” Being red, thought it might be some kind of Christmas decorations. ” OK, now you have me researching this, and I have learned some things I did not pick up on when I was at the park.

PostPu'ukoholā Heiau National Historic Site: Does not look like much, but this sacred site is very important to the Hawaiians. This is the last Hawaiian temple built by King Kamehameha and helped him fulfill the prophecy that he would unify the Hawaiian Islands. The NPS has an excellent interpretive movie that tells the story. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/16387/ appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/16388/

PostPuʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park: This was a place of refuge for Hawaiians sentenced to death for breaking one of the many 'Kapo' laws.

PostYou must run cold TJ, that sounds like it should have been comfortable to me. I have a LS Merino shirt I wear as a base in the winter. It really helps. Most importantly, with wicking away any moisture from my body.

Shipman's Beach, Hawaii. The hike to get to this remote beach was a 5 mile RT muddy slog.
