ZIG-ZAG ROAD Fifteen generations ago Kiha, son of Piilani paved with rocks and straightened the roads of Moloka’i and Maui and these roads are still preserved today. Ehu son of Kuaiwa, was another road maker.  He was chief of Kona and built a road from the uplands of Kona into Ka’u which is called « the way of Ehu ».
Maui (the demi-god) , son of Kalana, was one of the ancient chiefs of Maui who made roads twenty centuries ago. The roads in his day were straight and the people were accustomed to running along straight roads ; so when certain persons ran after him, he made the road go zigzag and it was called « ke ala nui kikeekee a Maui », the zigzag road of Maui. One is at Waikane and Waiahole in Koolaupoko on Oahu, and one at Kekaa between Lahaina and Kaanapali, and another at Kealakahakaha in Kahakuloa on Maui.
