We
all stayed at Ace and Monica's house for the night. Ace had to work,
so he could not continue on the journey. The next day we continued to
head south towards South Point, the southernmost point in the United
States. We were able to leave the main road and find a trail that led
to the coast. We were able to travel the last 4 or 5 miles on the
coast until we hit South Point. Green Sand Beach (Papakolea) was on
the way there. Yes, the sand actually looks green for some reason or
another. By the looks of it, not too many people come this direction.
We
saw only two other people out there. South Point was not too
interesting. We did see a windmill farm out there . From South Point,
we took South Point road back to Hawaii Belt road and were off to our
final destination of the day, The Road to the Sea.Monica departed with
us at that point, because she had some business to take care of the
next day. That was a real interesting evening. The Road to the Sea was
not well marked. There were several roads that headed towards the sea.
We went up and down three or four of them trying to find a good place
to camp for the evening. All these roads ran through lava fields. The
lava had been flattened with a steam roller to makes roads, but they
were all rough.
Everyone's
patience wore really thin by the end of the evening. There was a lot
of arguing about which road to take. Finally, at the end of one of the
roads there was some sort of beach. It was almost midnight, and we
were all tired. So, we stopped and made camp. It turned out to be a
nice place. We stayed there a couple of hours after we got up in the
morning. It was amazing to see how big the lava field was that we
drove through. It was awesome.
