It's one of my favorite places, although I think you need lose the engine and pedal it to really appreciate it ;-) BTW, all that Scotch Broom is a major problem up there, and one of the worst invasive species on the island. In just the 7 years I've been visiting, it's range has expanded probably tenfold. The rangers have told me that the Scotch Broom and the pigs are the most difficult problems they face in restoring the native forests. Great Mana Road travelogue, Jack!
