Everett Dowling has in his mind that the best environmentally sensitive use of this area would be a collection of high end homes available to anyone with a few million to drop.
It is clear that Makena Stables and the naturalness of Makena will not be around too much longer. I encourage everyone with an interest in the preservation of Makena and indeed the preservation of Maui to take a ride with Pat or his competent trail riders and see this area for your self. The phone number is 808-879-0244. The phones don't always work at that end of the island so be persistent. You will not regret the experience. Cost is about $145 per person. I believe the number that can ride at one time is six. Please call for details. Aloha Dr. L
Yes that is me, the one with the beard. Dr. L
The rest of our group. Six is the maximum that can go on a ride. You get
as much individual attention as you need. Highly recommend the ride.

That is the cinder cone that marks Makena State Park. To the left of it
is the tip of Big Beach at the threshold of the entrance to Little Beach.
More photos to come as time permits. Aloha Dr. L
