The pack trail goes thru a valley I like to call Boulder Valley or perhaps I should say Pohaku Gulch!  I just checked "Place Names of Hawaii" and it says the gulch is named "Ka`aikukui" which means candlenut food.  Go figure that one out.

What is interesting, is on the U.S.G.S. maps it is called "Ka`aikukai".  No such animal in the Place Names book.  Me thinks some one made a mistake.
