Scott Surfing




Scott chillin

This picture was taken on the lani of our VERY crappy hotel in Kona. The paper thin walled room sucked at best, but the view was amazing. The walls were so thin Scott was brushing his teeth and could hear a coule at the front desk that had paid a $700 deposit, but the hotel had no record of it!! There were fewer parking spots than rooms. The place was just a mess, but like I said the view was great.

Our private lighthouse

This is part of some mining equipment. It was buried in the ground years ago and because of the pounding waves it is now sticking out of the cliff. The power of the sea hard at work. We had this place all to ourselves for over an hour on a detour on our way to Kona from Hilo. This is the very nothern tip of the island. Again, very windy. We stopped had our little picnic lunch wached the waves crash, watched the lighthouse turn, and looked for this mining stuff in the cliffs.


Our Jeep was starting to get a little dirty









Lava Tubes

On our way from Hilo to Kona we hunted around for some lava tubes. This is the best one we found. It was fairly big and there were rock shelves built everywhere. We have heard they were built by early Hawaiians. Don't you just LOVE the hiking boots with the shorts?!? lol
