A two hour drive from our house, and around the backside of the Haleakala Volcano, exists a place lost in time. There are no stores, no shopping, no electric grid, and no gasoline. It is home to roughly 1,000 Hawaiians and a few others looking for a slower pace of life. It's a place where the high ridges of Haleakala drop off steeply to the Pacific Ocean with exotic plant and animal life, and where the Oheo stream flows from pool to waterfall to pool numerous times until finally crashing into the breakers of the Pacific Ocean. It's called Kipahulu, and is home to the 4.5 mile Pipiwai Trail.

The Bamboo Forest sounds like hundreds
of bamboo chimes ringing together
