I am writing to encourage you to approve Resolution 145-21. My family and I have used and enjoyed the Mahukona
area since the 1980's when we moved to Kohala from Oahu. At Mahukona, we camped, snorkeled, bamboo-pole
fished with the kids, kayaked and watched the whales. My wife and I still occasionally walk the old railroad right of
way, watch sunsets, and with friends, launch our kayaks to fish off shore. As a member of E Mau Na Ala Hele in the
late 1990's and early 2000's, we worked with Senator Akaka's office to promote the establishment of the Ala Kahakai
National Historic Trail, part of which is located on the Mahukona-Kapa'a parcels.
There is no other location in North Kohala with calm water where families can easily access the ocean for these
activities. We don't have the beach parks of South Kohala or Kona. Please keep Mahukona in the public domain. It
will make a wonderful park for the residents of North Kohala
Mahalo,
Keith Wallis
Resident of Kapa'au.
