If only there was another sign! That would help me understand. Needless to say, people walk their dogs here, or just hang out under the giant Banyan trees, without repercussions. I think the main purpose of the signs is in case someone does themselves a mischief. Then the property owner can claim the miscreants were trespassing.

A new business has opened in Hawi, though at a spot that has not been a great location of late. However, the sign is a winner in my book and I liked all the rectangles and lines going on. Perfect for Squares!

A long way from anywhere
In case you were wondering, these signposts, outside the North Kohala Resource Center, confirm we are truly a long way from anywhere.

Still temporarily closed
This sign has been in place, near the Old Coastguard Station in North Kohala, since I moved here. That was 12 years ago. But the sign was put in place six years earlier than that, after an earthquake caused the cliff, traversed by the trail, to slide into the sea.
The trail is the Ala Kahakai trail, a modern rendition of the network of trails used by the early Hawaiians. 175 miles long, it stretches from the northern tip of the island, down the west coast, and along the south coast through Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Segments of the trail are open to the public; other parts cross private property and are not yet accessible.
This ‘temporarily closed’ segment crosses the cliff frontage of a gated community. Rerouting the trail will require the cooperation of community residents impacted by moving the trail. This hasn’t happened yet.
I reckon the most likely change in this situation, that I might see in my lifetime, is that the sign will fall down. Replacing it could take several years!
