How this book organizes the trips

Imagine the hour hand of a clock pinned to a point near the center of Oahu. Think of it sweeping around clockwise from a 12-o’clock position that’s due north. It’s easy to envision the hour hand pointing to 3 o’clock (due east), 6 o’clock (due south), and 9 o’clock (due west) as it moves around.

You can think of Oahu as a clock with its hour hand pinned to its approximate middle, a spot on the Schofield Plateau a little east of the H2 freeway and Miilani town. At 12 o’clock, the hour hand points to Kahuku Point at the north tip of Oahu. Around 3 o’clock, it points to Mokapu Peninsula, site of Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station. At 6 o’clock, it points to Pearl Harbor. At 9 o’clock, it points to Waianae, a major town on the leeward side of Oahu.

The trips start between 12 and 1 o’clock, near Hauula on the windward shore (ssss1 and ssss1) and move clockwise around the island, ending a little before 12 o’clock near Waimea Bay (ssss1 through ssss1). Here’s the Oahu clock showing ssss1, Maunawili Falls:
