A new article on Coast Salish wool dogs appeared in Hakai Magazine this week. This is very comprehensive and a great read and is also available in audio form. I want to make some corrections or question a few minor items not to nit pic or be critical, I just want to clarify what isContinue reading “Coast Salish Woolly Dogs”

Day 7 – Tarpology 10
Last night we camped at Kumu Campground at Anahola Bay, one of the very few private campgrounds on the island. Kumu is run by the Anahola Hawaiian Homestead Association. It is one of thirty homestead associations controlled by native Hawaiians eligible for lands set aside in trust. It is on the northeast which seems toContinue reading “Day 7 – Tarpology 10”
Day more than 4 and less than 7: Camping life
So here’s the deal with camping on Kauai. You have three options: 1) Private campground but only one is currently open-Kumu campground. 2) State Parks, two to chose from but both require permits and we should have applied before we came as they were full and 3) State parks with more campgrounds and more availability,Continue reading “Day more than 4 and less than 7: Camping life”
Day 4? – A shoreline hike

Day 0 off to Kauai–and a lost phone
We have just lived with over a week of snow and below freezing temperatures. Time to head for the sun. Cathy kindly dropped us for the PIsle ferry and we were feeling pretty pleased with ourselves for being 8 mins early. We waved goodbye and headed down the ramp to the ferry with Trudy pattingContinue reading “Day 0 off to Kauai–and a lost phone”
Day 2 – we lose our breath
The day started with meeting Roland, a local who invited us to share a pomelo with us or perhaps more accurately to show us how to crack it open to eat it. It is like a giant grapefruit but sweeter. Roland showed us and then he was off to Waimea days to go to theContinue reading “Day 2 – we lose our breath”
