Aloha, Mr. Tom, (last post for the day for me...lol, Sir.) You stated:
"This is why I said earlier in the thread that I fear a break down in trust between the observatories and the protesters."
The trust factor is between the State/BLNR/UH and the protestors/protectors, not the other telescopes (nor TMT, in my opinion). Trust needs to be cultivated. To date, there is no trust, on both sides. DLNR, UH (and the State) have an obligation to ALL people of this issue. They have failed miserably, by admission, so far.
Unfortunately, Sir, all the other telescopes are subject to a burden that is not of their making. Today, the water truck and staff made it up just fine; the road is not closed, it is open to "authorized personnel". The protestors/protectors cleared the road themselves, with DLNR staff. Good. All "authorized personnel" can traverse the road safely.
Everyone there is mindful of safety, and well being of all. We (my ohana) continue to work towards resolution. It is going to be a challenge. We shall all meet that challenge.
Aloha ahiahi, Sir.
JMO.
