OT: Big Island Hawaii

[The Waterfowler]

Not many beaches on the big island. A couple of black sand ones on the south end as I remember. Lots of volcanic sights, lava rock and rough ground. Lava tubes were interesting also. Hilo is OK and a little laid back when I was there. The Parker Ranch is a big place and an interesting drive. Saw turkeys, Nenes and some goats.
