Drive: East Maui

First tried driving around the south side until the road turned into a 4WD track. We doubled back and had burgers in Ulupalakua. After lunch we drove out to Hana on a one lane road that had spetacular views of the ocean. We stopped in Waianapanapa Park for a hike.

Hiking: Torrey Pines State Reserve

Got to San Diego early enough in the afternoon for a hike. Rode the 101 Bus north through La Jolla to Torrey Pines State Reserve. You can only enter the park from the north which is good because I missed the bus stop and ended up at the beach. I hiked back to the visitor center which sits on the ridge above the beach. I had a chat with the friendly volunteer who recommended the Razor Point Trail. You hike down one ridge to a cliff just above the Pacific Ocean then turn south and hike back up the next ridge. The sunset into the Pacific was spectacular.

Glass Blowing

While staying at Fort Bragg, we visited a glass blowing studio. It was fun to watch them make glass pumpkins.
