hilos is beautiful. but you hear the airaid sirens,drop what yer doing and run lak a mofo for them thar hills!
same goes for kona. its not a joke. its dead damn seriass. kealakakua bay ridgeline collapsed last seismic activity 2 years ago and was caught on film and is on youtube. basically sloughed off into ocean(think giant deep ass submarine canyon). had you bean there you would be smooshed. this exact same action is what happened to k-bay ions ago when the BIG JUAN hit from the west side and sea shells were transplanted 1000 FREEKING FEET above sea level.
other than that............its a nice island. its also a nice island to dive at midnight with the manta rays 30-40 ft deep.

no beach front property for me. if i can get to the ocean in half an hour, i am stoked.
