Barking Sands

Barking Sands Beach

With Michelle's military ID, we were able to get on PMRF (Pacific Missle Range Facility). We were in search of Barking Sands. Legend states that a man left his dogs while surfing. When he came back, his dogs were gone. The guy looked frantically for his dog, but came up empty. People think the dogs disappeared into the sand and now days when walking on the sand you can hear the dogs bark.

Getting here was no easy chore. After Kokee, it took an hour to get to the military base. I didn't ask the guard at the gate where Barking Sands was, I assume it would be easy to find. Today was also Discover's Day and no one seemed to be at the base today.

As we drove on the base, I was preoccupied because our gas was low. There was a gas station that was under $3 per gallon. I was so happy. I thought I would have to spend a fortune on gas. I saved almost $5.

We stopped at a place called Shenanigans a restaurant on the base. The beach was beautiful, miles of white sand, and a lot of white sand. Michelle didn't feel satisfied because she wanted to hear the sand bark. We went to try find the real Barking Sands. We got to some cottages and tried to enter that way, but the MP's stopped us and said that we can't go there. The only public places were Shenanigans and Major's Court. We decided to go to Major's Court.

The beach was empty, besides 1 surfer. It was miles and miles of uninterrupted beach. The problem was that the current was very strong. In the distance not too far away was Ni'ihau. I loved it!!! This is the closest I'll be to the island.

We tried to take a nice picture, but my camera battery died. So I was relegated to my phone.

We stayed for about 1 hour. It was so peaceful, nobody was there at all. It was so relaxing, one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had.
