in summer no snow times there were useable horse/mule trails over to kamuela town,mostly switch backs in and around the different Pu'u's Tom.
There was a trail to top of Maunakea though but we seldom went on top Mtn,just up to 10,000ft level,the old jeep did not like past 10,000 ft and let usknow and grumbled the whole time
The snow actually was almost a foot deep where intersection now is up to maunaloa,we used to ride horse from volcano / glenwood through known hunting trails are,where kulani prison now stey over to kamuala and take about a week or 10 days.
We had camping spots to rest the animals and our own selves if weather was junk,which is often the case.
This winter is extremely similar weather wise to 1958,it should start to have regular rains again starting around march 8th,but if this is typical year which we have not had in the last 10 - 15 years ,we should get some good rains and trades in about 3 days for maybe a week tops and then dry till march 8th.

Seems like we are starting a new 10 to 15 year cycle again.

It is good to be in our 90s in age - 9 decades and counting.

I think i will be on my 2 legs till age 108,God willing.

Aloha, Mimosa, you are a precious soul. Mahalo so much.

These memories are forever engrained, and as you "speak", the visioning of your mana'o is front and center.

Bless you. Always.
