back down the mountain

the bad news is that last night provided such bad weather that we couldnt even drive up to the summit :(

the good news is that i woke up early and drove to some exciting locations on the island before heading back to hilo.

here's the view on the way down from hale pohaku. notice the clouds below the peak of mauna loa!


the horizon looks a bit off... but it's just mauna loa stretching very far to either side!


i sat at this lava rock coast for a very long, calm time.


signs of life...




then i hiked to a different area...


and finally,




akaka falls...






pretty good day overall. now to get back on a day schedule......
