The summit of Mauna Kea does close, 30 minutes after sunset. It re-opens 30 minutes before sunrise. The gate isn't closed and the summit closure isn't very strictly enforced, but the Office of Mauna Kea Management website has the info on the hours of closure and you can confirm it by calling them. Heck, call the director, Stephanie Nagata. She'll tell you the same thing.
I haven't been checking out this forum for very long, but it does seem to me that it has a lot of people who are, for want of a better term, "mean." I'll never understand the jollies people get from personally attacking other people on an online forum, but I guess it must bring some sort of strange satisfaction.
KathyH, I don't know anything about you or your history with this forum or with Trip Advisor, but I was appalled, reading that other forum here in Punatalk, at the things people were saying. I hope you'll keep posting in both places and rise above the nastiness that some folks feel the need to wallow in.
