Today, our HQ PACAF/HC staff hiked to the Makapu'u lighthouse for a wonderful view of the leeward and windward sides of O'ahu, and a distant view of the island of Molokai. What fun and fabulous team-building Chief Steve, Fr. Mike, TSgt Jason, SSgt Sara and Melissa.

"Description: According to Hawaiian legend, Makapu`u was a supernatural being who, after arriving from Tahiti, took up residence on the point now bearing her name. This being's defining feature was her set of eight bright eyes, which is reflected in her name Makapu`u, Hawaiian for bulging eye. On October 1, 1909, the light from another bright, bulging eye was seen on the rocky point of Makapu`u as the giant lens in the Makapu`u lighthouse was illuminated for the first time. "
