Did you ever see any stone walls or things out at Holoholokü, Heihei like that
No. Only thing I know is there’s a cave up there.
Oh, on Holoholokü
On the left hand side of that hill. There’s one hälua, they get, like one puka.
Hmm. But you never saw, or they didn’t say people lived there or sheltered…
No. But you can feel the air coming out. And Ku‘ulei was asking me.
That cave that they were saying.
Ohh. The old trail went past Holoholokü, Heihei…
Yes.
On the old maps we see.
The old trail that goes up to Waiki‘i.
Yes, up to Waiki‘i, that side.
