Possible Road Trip 7/13(Sat) or 7/14(Sun)
« on: July 07, 2013, 10:23:37 AM »
Since there has been interest in going up to Kuaokala game management area and checking out the hunting and camping area, I figure make a thread so we can all choose an appropriate date and get the ball rolling.
I would recommend a truck or suv, 2wd or 4wd with ground clearance. It's like driving a rocky dirt road. And when it gets wet it gets slick.
What is needed: Since we have to access through the military base we will need the following:
A full tank of gas, especially if we are up there all day. There are so many trails you could literally drive till you run out of gas.
Valid and current hunting, camping or hiking permit.
Current vehicle registration
Possibly insurance card. They ask every so often.
Government issued identification
Also, no one can ride in back of truck on the way to the top, they don't allow it.  Once we get into the GMA I assume its ok, but I personally am not comfortable with that so no one in back of my truck. You can all make your own choices.


Anywho I figure we can go up, check it out, make a family day, hopefully make it to the campsite and bar b q, lots of nice scenic points to take pictures, see what its like, great areas to hunt in the future. Etc, etc.

Just kinda throwing it out there as a brainstorming idea. Let me know who's interested. I know aiea78 is down and possibly team midori, but its open to anyone.

If you have your hunting license that works too.

I would love to go and *MIGHT* be able to go this Saturday if I can get out of my personal obligations.  Is this a whole day thing?

l have a 2WD mini SUV - is this a suitable vehicle? 

Or can I catch a ride with someone?
I think, therefore I am armed.

Seems like only one person has to have a hunting or hiking permit and the rest in the vehicle are guests.

Ren, if it rains like today then I don't think a 2WD is going to make it.  Just too much mud.

I would like to go if I can ride up there with someone too.

Maybe we can get a headcount and just submit one hiking permit request once we know how many people (without hunting licenses) and trucks will be going up there?
