It was starting to spit rain, so I hurried back to the car and got our picnic supplies, and we set ourselves up for lunch in the sheltered picnic area.
The rain was sporadic, but occasionally quite hard. After finishing our lunch, we found ourselves having to wait patiently for the rain to stop. During a lull when it had calmed to an occasional spit, we decided to make a dash back to the car. Our timing was perfect, as rain fell in torrents as soon as we got inside.
We stopped in Hanapepe for Lappart's ice cream. For Halloween they had Pumpkin Crunch flavor, where the Crunch seemed to be a mix of pie crust and pecans. It was strangely good.

Iliau Nature Loop
Today Richard and I roped my mom to come with us to the Iliau Nature Loop at the head of the Kukui Trail. The nature loop has signs giving the names and a paragraph of information about various native plants in the area. Unfortunately, my memory for plant names is very bad.
Also, the views over the canyon are spectacular.
