>> no way I was going to drive the other half and then STILL have to drive all the rest of the way back. <<

I broke the rental car rules (which they CIRCLE) about not driving on unpaved roads and took the “back way” back to the hotel. This was the 90s — some of it was rough but I made it through by following what appeared to be tire trails from hay trucks or somesuch — drove through farmland with cows and the like.

I did the same thing about 3 years ago...Glad I did it but won't be doing that again...

I remember that. I did the same thing but not on the road to Hana. I drove around the northwest part of the island, from Kapalua back down to Kahului. I took it slow, so no problems with the rental car -- and I got some truly amazing photographs. Breathtakingly beautiful up there.
