	COMMUNITIES                       Puunene LIFESTYLE Puunene means "Nene goose hill." There was once a red cinder cone near Puunene. It no longer exists. The cinders that made up the hill were used for road construction and other building projects. Between the four and five-mile markers on the Mokulele Highway (Hwy 311), there's the Maui Raceway Park. The Navy built a landing strip there during World War II for their carrier planes. The area is dotted by old bunkers left over from those days. Later the area was used by the sugar company for their crop dusters. The state has since granted the land to the County and the old landing strip makes a great drag racing strip.   Sugar Museum The Award-winning Alexander & Baldwin sugar museum is a fantastic repository of information and exhibits about one of the most significant and influential periods in Maui?s history. Haleakala National Park 30,183 acres, with visitor center, camping, hiking, horseback riding, swimming, stargazing.   Kamalo Wharf This place is of fairly great historical significance. Prior to the move of the shipping community to Kaunakakai Wharf, its natural harbor facilities were used often. It doesn't serve much of a purpose anymore, but local and tourist families occasionally come by to picnic or take walks. The views of dormant Kamakou Volcano are stunning.     To learn more about  Homes in this area, please contact us at 808-385-4665 or email: george@mauihometeam.com
