8-11: Picked up people on the way to QLCC. We also set up our tents and ate lunch after we set up
12-1:15- we had free time to explore the campsite. In my time exploring the campsite i saw several blowholes. For the whole 75 minutes there were people observing the blowholes and fishing.

1:20-4-we went to Ahua La`a (Keahuolü) to clean up the fresh water pond. The sun was blazing and we had to clean up the akulikuli and scrape up all the hard mud. We cleaned out the area so that the water could flow from each pond into the main pond. Then after an hour of working we got to go swimming in the very salty beach.
