Makakilo, Hawaii-A Mountain Community

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Makakilo was on my agenda for  today because I did an Open House to help out a fellow agent who is in Japan. So, I took advantage of the scenery to take pictures as well as bring you some information about the Community of Makakilo. (the picture to the right is a beautiful blooming Plumeria Tree in the front yard of the home)

Makakilo is located on the southern end of the slopes of the Waiʻanae mountain above the city of Kapolei. The freeway divides the newer developed Kapolei (ocean side) from Makakilo.

Some history indicates that Pu'u (hill or mountain) Makakilo ("Maka" means eyes; "kilo" means observer) is one of the post erosion series of volcanoes of the Waianae Mountains. It lies just above the community of Makakilo; the rounded bump south slope of the Waianae. The local people call it "Bolo Head" (bald head) Mountain. 

Makakilo was used as a point for observation. But.....the questions remain; was it a look out for invading armies or was it an astronomical observatory?

While writing Localism Client! Rewards of Posting Good Content! I inserted this picture from a view in Mililani (left)  The picture to the right is the same mountain range but many miles south and to the left in the picture before Pu'u Makakilo.

When I arrived at the home I took some beautiful shots of the view from the upstairs bedroom. Can you imagine sitting on your bed and looking down the mountain to the ocean?  Well, here it is to the left....The picture to the right is a close up from that window!

Makakilo is also known for it's stone quarry owned by Grace Pacific Corporation.

The Open House was kind of slow...but Wow....what a beautiful day!
