Just as a matter of curiosity, are you doing it rt or one way.
My guess is he wants to do OW.

Personally I'm conflicted on it, on one hand I don't want to go all the way there and not do it fully. I kinda feel like I'm cheating myself, like I'll always have an "asterisk" on this trip.

OTOH, having done the first two miles I see just how grueling it is...

Not sure really.

Maybe:
Arrive Sunday night into LIH.
Get boated into Kalalau on Monday morning with camping gear, grill, food, etc.
Camp at Kalalau Monday night.
Hike to Hanakoa and camp there Tuesday night.
Hike out Wednesday and fly home Wednesday night.

Hiking it one way is cheating?  How so?  You really looking forward to lugging all your photo gear rt?

As for me, even if I wanted DW would never let me run off on my own.

Unfortunately in my case we don't have anyone to watch the kids.  If DW let, I'd love to go though - been wanting to do this for a while.

What's the issue?
Do you really think we're going to have more than 3 people for this?
I could only find 1 sucker to come with me to ROR and that was with some kicking, dragging, and screaming.

LIH is closer than ROR, wayyyy less of an investment, both in time and in miles, and requires less... "crazy."

Personally I think there's going to be a lot more interest here. I don't know how many people will end up going, but I do think a bunch will seriously consider it.

Kalalau is crazier than the island hopper IMHO. Cheaper, but are that many people in a grueling camping trip?

Either way TOT (tuches oifen tisch), who's in and would you want a Y or J seat?
