Yes, and the residents of Hawaiian Acres just LOVE it when people cut through their "private" subdivision.
The Ola'a route is private roads for residents and guests of Orchidland
I believe Ola'a is a "real" road, however, 40th is definitely "subdivision private". (The connector is a piece of Old Volcano Trail which may or may not be RIL.)
If I understand correctly, the paved sections connecting 11 to 130 through HA and Ainaloa is county paved/maintained. The residents along those roads gave up their rights as a private subdivision the day they greeted the county workers bringing smooth roads to their driveways.
Agreed that Ola'a though rough, is not Orchidland's problem. 40th is chipseal at our expense until it ends. Then it gets really rough from there to where the chipseal begins again on Pohaku. For those reading this forum who aren't residents/guests of Orchidland who are considering this route, be aware that if it's raining hard Pohaku has a stretch that floods bad enough to sweep your car off the road (there are markers on the roadsides that gauge the number of feet the water is, to help you make a decision... you will notice it as it is the only stretch of road in OLE that I'm aware of that is concrete). If you see rushing water on the road, don't drown, turn around.
