Kapoho Joe "How many times have you been to South Point, Mark? Every time I go there I see at least one rental jeep (green sands too)."
OK, Joe, I appreciate your point. I was talking more about the 4 wheelers with giant tires. They used to drive out to the house at Richardson's Beach Park until they put boulders by the parking lot.
The first rocks, only 2 feet high, didn't work; they just drove over them. County workers had to line up 4-foot boulders. I've seen similar things in other places. Kaena Point on Oahu, similar to South Point in some respects, had a huge problem with 4-wheel drivers determined to breach the rock barriers.
Amazing how much effort these guys put into doing this; I've seen them build ramps so they can drive over walls into closed-to-vehicles areas.
"Cue the band to play 'Waimanalo Blues" I'm sort of a nature nut and always thought that off-road vehicles are mostly a blight on nature. Just my bias.
I guess it is true that losing the right to drive loud, fume-belching vehicles, stereos thumping out bass, wherever you want along Hawaii's shorelines will be sorely missed by a large local contingent. I'll withhold further comment.
