Their rep said that she would take the information back to the authors, who, as far as I know, have never responded to the requests. This has been presented to the authors, as well as requests that they also be more responsible in directing people to sacred, private and protected lands, but the best they could do was send a "representative" to the meeting. The problem I hear cited most-often is that the authors present a false sense of security at places like these, places where a flash flood can come along at any time, or where one good wave could wash you out to sea. The trail there is treacherous with much loose cinder and I would never hike down there with my child, let alone on my back! Does the book not mention it is a clothing optional beach? They had their copy of the book in plain view in one gentleman's hand as they came down the trail. The parents than caused a bit of an uproar when they discovered sunbathers in the buff, as this was offensive to their children. I think the oddest MR-related thing I ever saw was a group of four-six adults and a handful of kids traipsing down the trail to Kaihalulu (Red Sand) Beach, one of them had a todddler in a backpack. I see a great increase in ill-prepared hikers in slippers scurrying across the rocks and jumping from places that I would not jump. Waioka Pool (I think this is the one they call Venus Pool) is just waiting for it's first real mishap.
Hikers were trapped just recently at Helele'ike'oha Falls (you probably know it as the Blue Pool). There have been several rescues of hikers from lava tubes at Naili`ilihaele Stream (I don't know what silly name the book gives to this place-I only know the proper name), all of whom have said the book lead them to the site, which, by the way is on private land, clearly marked as such. Last year there was a drowning at the so-called olivine pools, which has been described in the book as "a calm playground in a stormy sea," and the man's brother was reported as saying they were only following the advice in the book.

Some people break beer bottles (or worse) on my Chicago sidewalks. Frankly, I am a bit tired of Hawaiian locals getting so wound up just because some people act like idiots. With all due respect to the Maui locals - People do things in Chicago that I don't like either.
