There it is on the map - and it even declares it an "ancient meteor landing"



Lets see what Google Earth Has on offer



Here's the area - Doesn't look very promising. Sandy substrate, and notice all the vegetation lineations... hmmm
(do you think it might have anything to do with either running water, storm surge or the strong prevailing winds from the NE????)





It turned out that I ended up going to Lanai for several days of vacation - What could I do but at least have a look...

This panorama below was taken from just under the "K" looking roughly south, The car was parked under the "K"
The trees are kiawe - mesquite - Prosopis pallida - Known for, among other things, thorns

(which brings us to the story of the disintegrating shoes and the search for "slippahs" (sandals/flip-flops etc) at the store
- Not good footwear to go wandering about a kiawe forest! Good News - none made it into my foot - but I pulled a lot of spines out of my slippahs...)




Walking through the underbrush was not easy - thorns - falling branches - dead falls....




And the substrate - Sand - that has been subject to a lot of water flow, and wind...





With all this, slippahs and thorns, Sand that had seen a lot of motion, I figured;
if there had been a meteorite impact site here leaving a small crater in the sand, evidence for it would have disappeared long ago.
Any meteorite would likely have disintegrated, eroded, or been swept into the ocean.


I'm not saying it didn't happen  but it seems unlikely there is any evidence other than a name, which may have been derived from other stories.


(Good boots, a bush knife/machete and a metal detector might be something to try  )
