DDF Wives DO at the GHK or SRP ;)

My wife's in :)

Have you considered doing a bootleg volcano trip on the big island at all?

I haven't, but I definitely would.

How can you go out to Hawaii and not see the volcanoes?

This is blasphemy.

Huh?

August it is :)

Who else is up for a photography class/camping trip on the greatest hike along the prettiest mountain range to the greatest beach in North America? Oh yeah, on the greatest island in the world :D
Any more superlatives I left out?
Maybe we would hire a bootleg boat to take us out of the Kalalau Valley after a night or 2 and then skip over to the big island for a bootleg photo trip to the bleeding edge of an erupting volcano.

And be back home for shabbos.

You do know you can't drive to Hawaii right?

:P

Maybe you should start a DD wife's closed FB group so they get to know each other first.

You can be arrested and fined for being in the Kalalau Valley without a permit.  It's about as remote of a place as you can find in the US49.
They do raids via helicopter though I'm guessing those are pretty rare.  But still...

It's impossible to do the Kalalau Trail round trip without overnight camping (usually at Kalalau Beach).

from wikipedia:

In spite of the efforts of the state of Hawaiʻi, many people illegally hike the Kalalau Trail and even live in the valley.......The residents of the valley sometimes come into conflict with authorities charged with enforcing the law. The DOCARE officials make biannual raids of the valley, sometimes slashing and burning camp sites and illegal farms. Visitors who do not have a permit are issued citations that require a court appearance and a fine of up to $500 for a first offense.

Both. They want to keep it pristine, but they also have to manage it safely. There are often flash floods along the trail, and sometimes people have to be rescued by helicopter. They need to keep track of who goes in and out.
