The 'Iao Valley is a sacred burying place for chiefs and the site of Maui's last great battle for supremacy. Invaders from the Big Island defeated Maui's warriors in 1790 thanks to a cannon they'd seized from a captured British vessel. The carnage was so massive that bodies clogged the stream. Strange to stand here today in the peaceful valley, where the stream once ran red with blood.
Papa, Mya, River, Piper, Brandy, Ryder stand before the 'Iao Needle, the 2250-foot high peak that is known as he phallic stone of Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the ocean.
River, Ryder, Brandy on the trail to the lookout point.
Papa with a banana from the trees flourishing along the stream.
Ryder, River, Papa and somebody's legs in front of Ryder. Piper's?
