another hike — and some "RON-EEE -MO"

Ka'ena Point State Park is the northwestern most point on Oahu Island.  It is accessible only by hiking along the coast as there are no roads to the point (google earth it).  We hiked along the northern edge of the approach to the point and the coast line was quite dramatic. 

There were "bridges" over the wash or the waves where the volcanic rock had broken or eroded away.

There were layers of lava flows that had differential erosion from the wave creating overhangs and cliffs.

 The hills rose steeply along the shore and the kids had great fun climbing them, here is Caroline atop one rise — we did not climb the mountains in the background despite a couple of interesting looking trails.

and some Will found just about to much space to roam in along the drift piles of the old volcano between the mountain and the sea.

There was a lot of variety along the shore, from rocky to sandy, cliffs, and coral.

 and watching the waves move in and out along the rocky shore was certainly interesting.

 There was just a lot to see — the wind, the sound of the waves crashing, and sea spray occasionally made for a really nice atmosphere.

 And we were not alone out here, we did see another group of three people and as we were leaving some fishermen were arriving to set up their evening efforts.

 it was one of those really nice days.

We spied an old chair — talk about something out of place - down on the shore line and having already tired of throwing rocks into the sea, now had a ready target.  We all joined into the fray of throwing rocks — note especially the little kid in the red shirt at the end of the line in the photo.

 Eric, was the most enthusastic of us all, throwing repeatedly and yelling loudly with each effort "RON-EEEE- MO!! !!!! .  (an abbreviated pronunciation of Geronimo)  (the photo below is an actual action photo as a rock has just left Eric's throwing hand and he is still in mid-yell.)
