Two photos taken almost two years apart…  Both taken while I was waiting in the car while Marianne was shopping at Ross Dress For Less…

Two Years Ago:

Almost identical positions, almost identical cloud cover, and very likely about the identical day of the month!!

Pictures from our visit to Waipio Valley in the southeast corner of North Kohola.  The road to the bottom of the valley is one lane gravel, four wheel drive required (no all wheel drives allowed), rides along the cliff edge and is very steep, about a 25% grade. (That’s 25 feet down for every 100 feet forward!!)  After the drive on Maui, we stayed up at the overlook.  There are about 50 native Hawaiian residents in the valley full-time. In 1946, a devastating Tsunami wiped out most of the valley….

Good morning from Keauhou Bay, just south of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.  This is our first full day, so we will just have to see where we end up today.  I ask thinking about a drive down to South Point, the southern most point in the 50 United States….  But, maybe something else….

Running a couple hours late this morning, even though I have been up since 6:30am HST.  Still some surf out there, but not like last night during high tide…  The best was around 11:00pm-midnight, but too dark to take pictures….
