Puakō - Fri, 15 Apr, 2022, 7pm
Our visit to the Puakō Petroglyphs this afternoon was part of a two-fer. The second part was visiting Puakō Beach. We timed it for sunset. We parked near one of the small public beach access slots along a narrow road lined with shabby looking multi-million dollar homes and walked out to the shore.
We explored up and down the coast, hopping across rocks and over tidepools.
"Where are you going?" you might ask. "How do you know when you're there?"
Trick question. We're there the whole time.
It was interesting looking at the countless bits of coral washed up out of the ocean. Most was plain white and smoothed out, but occasionally we found a piece that still showed color and lots of small cavities.
During our walk up and down the coast we found what I dubbed "The Stairway to Nowhere".
It looks like it was originally part of one of the house's privacy walls/retaining walls. Now it's separated from the nearest wall by 25'.
We picked the Stairway to Nowhere as a great place to sit and watch the sunset.
It had been cloudy for much of the day, but just before sunset the sun dropped down below the cloud layer.
We stayed until the sun finished sinking into its watery grave.
