A night on the Hana Highway was an amazing thing....and true. Back in Maui I took a trip down the famous Hana Highway...or the "Road to Hana." A little ways back there was an earthquake on the island that cut the road off at the end and made it impossible to circle the island. I was told that the road was fixed so I took off on the road. After driving four hours down the road I came to where the road stopped....due to the earthquake....the road was still closed! If I had been able to continue down the road I would have been back to my hotel in only 1 hour....
By this time it was about 10pm and I was looking at a four hour trip back the way I came. With no alternatives (there are no hotels) I turned around and headed back. One of the reasons the road is so long is because of how windy and narrow it is...so driving it when tired isn't recommended. I started driving and had to pull over everytime I was tired. I ended up sleeping on the side of the road numerous times. Talk about a mind trip.....try waking up in the middle of paradise, at night, in a rental car.....you think you're still dreaming after you woken up. I finally made it back to the hotel by early morning. It was a night I will never forget....by the way...all the shots below are taken handheld without any type of tripod or monopod.....I LOVE MY D3!!!
