There’s a sandy area inside Kawaihae Harbor that’s used for parking. Some are military vehicles, invariably inside fences. Most of the rest are trailers, hauled to and from the nearby port by semi trucks. The road they use dips down through a low spot that’s covered in water at high tide.

I stop by there to see if there are any herons fishing in that area. There usually are. My interest is in the herons, but it’s something of a sight to turn and see these large vehicles rumbling past, seemingly above my head!
