Reply to WPOZZZ-

All of the photos after the trail head sign (except the rusted motor) were taken in the Pololu valley.
Very VERY cool that your grandmother was born there!

It had the feeling of of a respected and revered place that has to be seen in person to appreciate. I'd encourage you to visit it if you are able, the deep connection you have will be rewarded.

From what I've read its one of the most ancient parts of the Big Island and the rounded lava rock from there was moved long distances by hand to build with by lining up groups of people "fire bucket brigade style"... wow those were some tough and strong folk.

We just got back from a couple weeks on the islands, stayed in Kona for a week and had this on our list of places to see again, alas- the winds and big waves were not favorable for the hike down to it.
It stays on my list of the most impactful and beautiful places I've ever been.

Here's a few more from the '08 adventure:

Hawaii, 2023 into 24

Our son joined us on Maui.
I know there's controversy about visiting there since the disaster, but 70% of Hawaiian economy is tourism.
We decided to go and it was very very good as usual.
All the locals we spoke with were welcoming and warm toward us

Nature, found another dead possum in the front yard, and by the time I got home, there was a crowd of these ugly buzzards, they pulled it out of the yard, into the street in front of the neighbors house, that was yesterday, today, they moved him across and down the street. It appears that they have eaten this poor guy from the butt hole in.
