Trolls in Hawaii - Paradise Post 6

Another day in paradise on The Big Island.

Another beautiful waterfall just a few yards off the road.

At the entrance to Waimanu Valley. This is a former sacred site
where Kings & Queens resided. 

A giant tsunami wiped out the ancient village & the residents
many years ago. There are no real roads going into the valley, just
a 4-wheel drive trail. 

There is no utilities or any other services there. Only a few
"off the grid" people make their homes there now, living off
vegetables they raise and water from streams.

In Waichinu on the southern end of Hawaii. Mark Twain visited here
in 1866 and planted this Monkey Pod tree.

At the Mauna Kea Observatory looking thru a small telescope at Saturn's
rings. This is above the clouds. On the beach down below it was in the
80's F, but here it was in the 30's F with a very strong wind blowing
and it felt like it was 15 F. Very cold!

After watching the sun set from atop Mauna Kea,
the Troll Family stopped at Ken's House of
Pancakes for a  late supper of breakfast food. 

Ken's House of Pancakes is famous as Dewayne Johnson's family
business. There are lots of pictures of "The Rock," his grandfather
Peter Maivia and his father Rocky Maivia, all famous professional
 wrestlers. Dewayne is now a rather famous movie star. The Rock
stops here when he is back home, but alas, the Trolls didn't get
to meet him.
