JY: Germans up there.
KM: You know even like if you go further over. You pass Pöhakuloa, you know where you
said the road goes straight
JY: Uh-hmm.
KM: To Kalai‘eha, or Humu‘ula. You know when you get out closer to Kalai‘eha get stone
walls right out along the edge, across the lava flow.
JY: Yes, yes, that’s the boundary, used to be.
KM: The boundary, yes. And then early, long before us had a German who had the lease out
there, his name was Haneberg. Did you ever hear his name, Haneberg
JY: No.
KM: That’s why I’m wondering you know…you talk about the Germans, they were raising
sheep out there before. Before Parker got the lease, it was Spencer them, Haneberg,
and then Parker.

Paddock.

KM: Oh.
JY: They had Blue Gate.
KM: Blue Gate.
JY: Blue Gate 1 and 2.
KM: Let’s see, in the maps I gave you has one old Humu‘ula section map. I’m going to pull out
a copy of it here [Plat 5015]. Here’s Humu‘ula Sheep Station, here’s the old road goes up
to Waiki‘i. Here’s the stone wall right around here that comes up, like you said, boundary
basically. They didn’t put the names on these. You said, Ueyda
JY: Ueyda is the person’s name. You know the vegetable stand we have
KM: Yes, yes.
JY: It’s owned by Ueyda.
KM: Ueyda, a Japanese man
JY: Yes.
KM: Uncle, you know something terrible has happened out on this land now. The gorse.
JY: Hmm.
KM: You worked out Humu‘ula too
JY: Uh-hmm.
KM: You did Kalai‘eha, you went all the way around the mountain
JY: Yes.
KM: You would go from Humu‘ula or Kalai‘eha out to Laumai‘a
