Kauai - 31 July 1944 34. A about, sickish, lazy. Perhaps Newell's theater is due to be found thus. We then go to the Kalalau lookout. Here is the most astounding, stupefying view ever to behold, sheer falls (cliffs) dropping 4000' to the canyon below, with jagged green edges silhouetted against the blue of the ocean beyond - green beyond imagination, the rim we are upon clung with tree ferns & Ohia trees, while Apapane & Zosterops flit anywhere in the trees. Never have I beheld such a sight. I should like to return again & again. One does not see Kauai or Oahu, that is like knowing Calif. without seeing Yosemite, Port John, or Joshua trees. We walk down along a road in the Mohihi Puna Rd. & the Alakai Swamp Trail. 6 mi. of rough road, 5 mi. of tough trail to the swamp cabin. We do not get into the swamp, just reaching its border, but do see: Apapane, Creeper, Iiwi, Anianiau, Akapa, Elepaio, Zosterops, Chinese Thrush, Hawaiian Duck, Jungle Fowl, + Tropics birds. The area is a phantasmagoria of Tree Ferns, tall grasses, bushes, Ohia, Koa, steep canyons - green green green. As one descends the road the introduced ferns & flora slowly drop out, leaving at least native plant. #1/20 first card out
