In the last few years the beautiful island of Kauai has seen its fair share of tragedy and not just Covid. 100 year type flooding in the North Shore (Hanalei) where people were stranded and couldn't get in or out. Eventually, they used all types of boats and even helicopters to transport people and supplies. And then this March a massive slide came slithering down the hillside right before the famous Hanalei Bridge. Cut off again...but they never gave up on the North Shore!!!
So, for the last month or so, during the week they have convoys leading cars in and out...you can wait in line for well over an hour. Except for Sunday and they do it a little differently because they're not "working" on the slide. So, "Aha!" I said and that's when I went this last Sunday. I tried to get photos of the slide, but I was too busy driving and trying NOT to look down--it's rather scary especially if you have vertigo!!!
But I made it and now you can enjoy a few photos. Note: I'll be back!!!
I'm at Princeville and as I got in line to go "through" the slide, the line started to move!!! The exact same thing happened as I was leaving Hanalei!!!
One of many one lane bridges. Years ago I drove this alone, late at night in total darkness with rain, but I made it to my favorite resort which is the next few photos.
