Picking Salt with my Grandpa

Every summer my cousins and I scrape salt off the rocks in Molokai. This has become a tradition with my grandfather. He taught us how to look for the right salt and the best ponds to gather the salt. This picture is my grandfather and my cousin looking for salt on the reef, in the tidepools. We hiked over 2 miles to get to these tide pools, and we each packed over 100 lbs of salt in our back packs back to our truck. It is a very difficult hike with many rocks to climb. It took us a full day. At the end of the day my back was tired and I had sunburn all over my neck and arms. Next time I need to remember to bring a long sleeved shirt. I look forward to these adventures with my grandfather every year.
