I found some very interesting facts as I was watching them.<br /><br />All of them appeared to be concrete surface paths, and almost none of them were actually on top of the beach sand, but on the edge of it, with the sandy areas left undisturbed. There were no large, enormous interpretive signs, nor were there artificial landscaping. Further, they all seemed to meander at times far away from the coast itself, and move through mauka and wooded and grassy areas as well.<br /><br />THe only one I saw, the Venice/Santa Monica? Torrence one, which is situated on a stationary half mile or so stretch of beach in a straight line for miles on the California coast has a surface path.<br /><br />It is not a boardwalk screwed into the sands. It has held up since 1960.<br /><br />They are only now anticipating repairing it. Now, let us remember there are no sacred burials here, it is not a small area with large shifts in sand, and it is not disputed by cultural groups for its inherent sacredness.<br /><br />Further, it actually seems to be a true communer route and it goes for dozens of miles.<br /><br />We are not California, that's for sure. But when I took all of these videos together, I began to see that our bikepath was starting to look a bit strange against those other paths.<br /><br />As my eyes have been opened by actually being able to view videos of people biking these trails from their vantage point, I see that what we have being proposed to us is really not very logical in part.<br /><br />The most interesting thing I notices is that literally all of the coastal paths did not all go along the coast for one hundred percent of the time, and went on other roads, highways, bridges and backways.<br /><br />Education is priceless, isnt it?Punohu's Politics,Environment and Culturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855749379420613725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-14873833664117501912009-12-16T16:16:50.272-10:002009-12-16T16:16:50.272-10:00I know....I know....that "as does" shoul...I know....I know....that "as does" should be "as do" since it refers to a plural entity.<br /><br />Disneyland should buy Kauai and turn it into "Hawaii Land".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-47264384407324485462009-12-16T16:15:17.784-10:002009-12-16T16:15:17.784-10:00Well, you do have a pretty good handle on "st...Well, you do have a pretty good handle on "strange".<br /><br />As does many Kauai folks, it appears.<br /><br />I'm glad I'm on the Big Island where we are not as rabid on these issues.<br /><br />Maybe because the BI is so big the entire rest of the state can fit into our island 2+ times.<br /><br />The "rabids" can live far away from the "normals".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-31654525761225972842009-12-16T15:52:10.828-10:002009-12-16T15:52:10.828-10:00The point I was trying to make is, if all everyone...The point I was trying to make is, if all everyone wants to do is discuss me, and my posts rather than the issue which is the bikepath and make derogatory statements regarding me, take it to my blog.<br /><br />Or get your own blog and rip me to shreds all you want on your own blog.<br /><br />But keep it to the issue and stop drifting off way into left or right field whichever the case may be.<br /><br />As for being strange, mahalo.<br /><br />I revel in my strangeness, I embrace it with both arms, and I encourage my strangeness whenever possible.<br /><br />It is good to know that I have been successful in SOMETHING.<br /><br />:DPunohu's Politics,Environment and Culturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855749379420613725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-50260304158891626022009-12-16T15:24:54.347-10:002009-12-16T15:24:54.347-10:00If you find my posts distasteful, as I have stated...<i>If you find my posts distasteful, as I have stated before take your distaste to MY blog, and stop cluttering up Joan's Blog.</i><br /><br />Why would anyone go to a different blog to address comments you left on this blog?
