Vince, those roads are also used by UHH, and, hard to believe, but there are irrigation ditch maintenance trucks that get up there, too!
Did you get to go up into the "elfen forest" bog areas? The back valley is a magical place, and the first time I was up there we were totally surrounded in clouds. The UH prof was talking of the geology of the valley, and how 'if the clouds would part' we would see the falls beneath us, and as he was talking the clouds parted & the whole valley down to the ocean opened up! Of course we also realized how close to a very steep edge we were standing!
That sounds like a wonderful way to enjoy your 1st year, and many more for you two!
