We went to Waimea for lunch and decided to continue up to the Kohala part of the
island. We decided to see where the end of the road took us, and we weren't
dissapointed. We passed through Kapa'au, which is said to be near
the birthplace of King Kamehameha. We got to see the original statue. I've seen two other,
Hilo and downtown Honolulu, so it was interesting to learn the history behind this one.
One small, single story hospital for this area. Hubby had gone here years ago and he
said it really hadn't changed much.
quick pass through Hawi ( it was raining)
We reached the end of the road and found another beautiful valley.
We stopped at Mahukona Beach Park and found out about the
railroad that served the sugar plantations in the area. They tried using
railroads to haul the cane, but once big trucks came along, all the railroads
stopped running.
This is what is left of the station next to a pier where the ships would come.
We were laughing at this sign at the beach park camping area. Do you think
they'd take our chickens?
