Good morning! We're on the Road to Hana, a famous day-long drive that covers many beautiful locations along the northeast coast of Maui.



2004.11.10 10:58
We left at about 7:30 a.m. to "beat the rush" and our first stop was at this roadside park.



2004.11.10 10:58
We hiked the nature trail, about five minutes through damp undergrowth to the top.



2004.11.10 11:01
As you can see at 8:00 a.m. it was already a beautiful day!




2004.11.10 11:05
On the way down Nancy found this pretty flower in the dim undergrowth and posed for a photo op.




2004.11.10 11:19
Cool spiderweb! One of the hundreds that we saw.



2004.11.10 11:20
This was supposed to be a spectacular waterfall but at the end of the dry season it wasn't so magnificent.



2004.12.11 21:30
Still, the hike up to see it was interesting, with lots of slippery dirt trails next to thousand foot dropoffs ... watch your step!



2004.11.10 11:22
The view from the top, out towards the ocean.




2004.11.10 11:53
We ignored the "no swimming" signs at our next stop and made our way down to Ching's Pond.




2004.11.10 11:55
Of course the signs were posted by a local farmer's organization and who's to say that they were legally binding anyway?




2004.11.10 11:57
Todd was first into the frigid, clear waters.




2004.11.10 11:58
Chilling out (literally) in the water.



2004.11.10 11:59
Come all the way in, quick-like, it's the only way to do it!



2004.11.10 12:00
The bbrrr it's cold dance.



2004.11.10 12:01
Swimming out into the "depths" (it was maybe 8 feet at its deepest point).



2004.11.10 12:02
On our way to the waterfall.




2004.11.10 12:11
If Nancy had been brave enough to enter the water she could have gotten a better photo here!




2004.11.10 12:13
No one else came along while we were at the pool, it was too early in the morning and most people were probably scared off by the signs anyway.




2004.11.10 12:18
Hello dragonfly.




2004.11.10 12:19
The ol' camera-at-arms-length shot.




2004.11.10 12:44
A spectacular view from the road.




2004.11.10 13:21
Next we drove down Nahiku Road to the town of Nahiku.



2004.11.10 13:22



2004.11.10 13:25
Here's their beautiful coastline.



2004.11.10 08:58
Another arm length shot. This time it's Todd's arm.




2004.11.10 13:25



2004.11.10 08:59
We found a stable rock to put the camera on. Timer mode did the rest.




2004.11.10 13:28
Imagine the sound of crashing waves.




2004.11.10 13:28



2004.11.10 09:34
Nancy and Bryan in paradise ...




2004.11.10 09:36



2004.11.10 13:32
The magnificent thing about Nahiku was this little pool with a little waterfall right next to the ocean.



2004.11.10 09:38



2004.12.11 21:27
book ...

Come on Nancy! Let's go down to the bathing pool below!




2004.11.10 13:40
Todd poses for his first Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoot.



2004.11.10 13:41
Work it...work it...



2004.11.10 13:42
Whooo yeah, that's cold!



2004.11.10 13:42
The cold water went to their brains.




2004.11.10 13:42



2004.11.10 13:45
Cheers!



2004.11.10 13:45
Todd and Nancy try to look scary as Bryan smiles away!



2004.11.10 13:39





2004.11.10 13:39



2004.11.10 13:46
We go a little crazy with the camera. You should have seen the next picture!



2004.11.10 07:46



2004.11.10 13:47
No clue what was happening here.



2004.11.10 13:49
The coastline right next to the pool.



2004.11.10 13:55
Check out the stud!



2004.11.10 13:55
The boys.



2004.11.10 13:58
Bryan checks out a weird little creature.



2004.11.10 14:00
Todd and Bryan scrambling over the boulders.



2004.11.10 09:37
This was the view from the pool.




2004.11.10 14:46
Back on the road.



2004.11.10 15:04
The beautiful and famous Blue Pool.



2004.11.10 15:09
Todd prays for a moment.



2004.11.10 15:13
Who needs some sun here?




2004.11.10 15:19



2004.11.10 14:59
The path on the way to the falls.



2004.11.10 15:14
The beautiful falls.



2004.11.10 15:14
Chocolate or vanilla?



2004.11.10 15:09
Nancy flexes in the background.



2004.11.10 15:09
Nancy goes for a walk around the pools.
