Blancett-maddoc" <dbmkona@aol.com> <br /> John, <br /> You've relayed the insights of a truly remarkable source regarding these parallel rock <br /> walls. Thank you! !! ! <br /> Again, at the very least, this man's input allows us to sow these as logical connections <br /> to or at least insinuations of the parcel's archaeological significance, in this instance <br /> dating back into King Kamehameha's likely usage of the Holualoa Slide. Additionally, <br /> because Tom Pohaku Stone has noted that, in general, these upland connectors to the <br /> makai cultural site preservations have been destroyed. This one remaining upland <br /> swath, especially with the waterways and heiau within relative proximity and its <br /> probable connections to the cultural/archaeological history of not only Kona but of <br /> Hawaii itself MUST be preserved so that the whole of the story can be memorialized. <br /> There might also be native flora that we should identify and preserve: it's possible that <br /> the University of Hawaii might be interested in helping with that. <br /> I (and, I'm guessing, many others) would love to further connect with living-resources <br /> such as Tom, in order to create a site-based walking/hiking tour that could be run as a <br /> non-profit, perhaps under the auspices of the Kona Historical Society (Executive <br /> Director was Joy Holland in 2017.) Other than the initial research and development of <br /> sites (beating the least intrusive pathway) and instructional materials such as a geo- <br /> tour (by paid phone app), a location designated and prepared for visitor parking <br /> (perhaps the church parking lot could be used?) I see the site as needing minimal <br /> maintenance, save walk-throughs to keep the area "original". <br /> The Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau may have some one particularly focused on <br /> a new adventure on the Big Island, too. I seem to recall seeing articles in WHT about <br /> organizations seeking to invest in tourism ideas post erupting-volcano to supplant that <br /> in attracting visitors to the Big Island. <br /> https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=a5l 806dd8e&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3Al 637917078304009755&simpl=msg-f%3A1637917078... 3/4 <br />
