Big Island, Hawaii

April 17 - 23, 2008

The Pololu Valley Lookout where the road ends on the North Kohala Peninsula.

North Kohala Peninsula view of hazy coastline.

April tradewinds keep the surf rough, some days running 10+ feet.
View across from Keokea Beach Park in North Kohala.

The statue of King Kamehameha I in Kapa‘au, North Kohala, near his birthplace.
This is the original that was lost at sea and the duplicate is in Honolulu.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was closed in early April and then
again a few days after this picture was taken.

We drove Saddleback Road over to Hilo and then back after dark.
An interesting drive through the pass between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa with some unpaved road.
