TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

[TomK]

rainyjim,

"It wouldnt be a bad thing to have some sort of car wash / air compressor / UV light 'clean stop station' before entering state and national parks in vehicles which could be hitchhiking all sorts of unwanted specimens along for the ride!"

Although there is no "cleaning station", all observatory and MKSS vehicles are inspected for dirt and invasive species, including staff who drive their own cars to Hale Pohaku. There is no such requirement for anyone else.

PM2,

"i wonder if the rocks brought up from Kona side yesterday by protestors/protectors to hastily make the sacred ahu blocking the access road to the TMT construction/destruction site went through so scrupulous an inspection?"

I wonder what the reaction would be if the other observatories blocked access to their parking areas? None of them do, of course, but there would be a firestorm of complaints if they did.

Gypsy69,

Go and play some golf or go fishing or do something you know how to do. Fine dining at the summit? Please.
