The five-mile oceanfront bike path on Kauai's east side, which happens to have it south terminus outside my front door, was named the 2024 Rails to Trails Conservancy Hall of Fame winner.
Part of the trail used to host a small-gauge pineapple train.
It's the best amenity on this side of the island (in many people's opinion).
Here's sunset shot on one of the trail bridges from the other night.

I was out hiking through a beautiful aspen grove today when I came across this. I was going to post a profanity laced rant, because I see this all too often & it really pisses me off.

Dung fairies are a myth.
