[HIKE/HOLIDAY] It's National Trails Day and Maui Land and Pineapple Co., Inc., has been needing some good press lately. Apparently, the thought of yet another 18-hole golf course, massive millionaire estates and who knows what else (considering they never released any plans) appeals to you about as much as it does me. But (thanks to all the public out-cry) they're negotiating with the County now over the disputed land, and the incorporated company has donated a lot of the stuff in the past. To bring home how good they really are there's going to be a guided hike in the Mauna Lei Arboretum. That's, like, "Flemmings," I think. Na Ala Hele (the trail making Division of Forestry and Wildlife program) is partnering with you-know-who to show off the goodness. Hikers will want to bring boots (who knows what kind of pesticides got left in the soil), sunscreen (because global warming is a reality), and lunch (even environmentalists eat something). Oops—try to go next year folks; this event is booked. But hey, it's not too late to celebrate this great holiday.
