Fun With Chris and Jane

Our various adventures on California trails (and elsewhere)

June 27, 2013 – First Maui Sunset

June 27, 2013 – First Maui Sunset

June 28, 2013 Chris Comments 0 Comment

Not a hike at all but just sharing our first Maui sunset. Our condo is in Kihei on the south side of the island – from our lanai, we look west across Maalaea Bay to the west Maui mountains. From our vantage point, the sun sets below the southern shoulder of West Maui and to the north side of the island of Lanai, the southern part of which is also in our field of view. In the foreground is an ancient fishing lagoon used by Hawaiian royals long ago – rocks were piled up to fence off the ocean along the Kihei shoreline, trapping the fish within and allowing the VIPs easy access to the catch of the day. Much of the stone fence is still in place today. We’ve been experimenting with using a polarizing filter on Jane’s Canon, so here are a few random shots, all taken from our 3rd-floor condo’s patio.

Over the last few years, we have discovered - or really, re-discovered - our common love of hiking. Although we typically enjoy the proverbial mountaintop experience and the sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching some summit or another, we sometimes prefer easier trips that are less taxing. In any case, we hope the visitor appreciates not just the natural beauty of the California areas to which we have been, but in some small way participates with us in the experience as well. We spend several weekends in Pismo Beach each year, so much of our hiking takes place on the Central Coast. We also like camping in the Sierras, so we've done several trips along the Great Western Divide and the Kern Plateau. Additionally, we have done a group hike (known as Chris and Jane's Excellent Adventure) with family and friends each Labor Day since 2009 - these trips are included in their own page. Finally, we recently purchased a cabin in Wrightwood, so many of our latest hikes have been in the eastern San Gabriel mountains. Enjoy the site!
