Snow in Hawaii! postcard: Kohala coastline with snow capped Mauna Kea in the backgound
Highway 19 lined with trees as you get closer to Hawai and
Kapaau, close to the northern point of the island; lots of northeastern wind
howl through the trees
Sleepy town of Kapaau, 2 miles from Hawai
Between Kapaau and Hawai - note the ocean at the northern tip of the Big Island
Hawi town - main street
Available (what I can to see) - 2 retail spaces, 2 residential above and behind

Hawai herd
On the way towards Waimea from Hawi
To Waimea, also called Kamuela
Parker Ranch now has around 250,000 acres; the green hills made me recall photos I've seen of Ireland
postcard: Some of the hired hands - cowboys have been
working the herds since the 1830s, way before the arrival of cowboys of the
American Wild West. For example Wyatt Earp was born in 1848 and the
gunfight at O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona occurred in 1881.

Just into Waimea
Coming into Waimea town
Old style ranch house for cowboy families; typical shutters
Horses still abound, here's one on the "wet side" of Kamuela
A Pinto
Life style Waimea
Lush empty lot
Another ridge on the wet side of Kamuela
Wet side neighborhood; note the afternoon fog staring to descend
Wild turkeys in someone's yard. Wonder what happens on Thanksgiving?
But there is downtown and a bit of traffic after school and coming home from work. The commercial area is on the dry side of Waimea.
Hub of town activity at the Parker Ranch Center; has a nice centrally located food court - includes Chinese, Mexican, Pizza, Japanese foods
Available mixed zoning condo
A Mauna Kea observatory administration center
Nice, cool and breezy country living in Waimea!
