Polipoli!






We finally made it to the last outpost! Now we have really been here and done that! Waipoli State Park is located high on the sloped of Haleakala, aka the Crater, and is a big forest. There are a few Redwood trees, which was the main reason we went up there, and plenty of fern, pines and other big trees and plants. The campground wasn't exactly crowded, after dark only our tent was to be seen. We found wild strawberries, black berries (not the ones you can call up your buddies on) mushrooms and some telltale signs of wild boar... It was unreal up there! It got so dark at night, no moon that night! We ran out of batteries in the flashlight, so we took a dark walk under the stars, above the clouds! Unbelievable beauty!
