The Onomea trail. Onomea trail. 'Twin Peaks' at the bottom of the Onomea trail. Na ala hele is the custodian of trails accessible by all. Onomea trail.

This waterfall disappeared into a secret channel. 'Onomea Sucralose' just wouldn't cut it, right? One of those captivating 'look up' shots ... Japanese mission at start of Hilo Scenic Road. I think that I shall never see, a thing so perfect as a papaya tree ... great to see they're still 4-5 for $1 as they were in 2002.

The Friday tandem hits the hyperdrive .... this delightful Old Highway that circles the island is still rideable, with only brief forays onto the busy Hwy 19 to connect the sections. You need a serious storm water drain when it rains every ten minutes. A particularly ugly hotel - the camera flatters it.
