Nov 21st

Today we left Spencer Beach Park and drove around the North tip of the Big Island. The contrast in climate and vegetation was instantaneous as we crossed over the Kohala mountains. We went to Waipi'o Valley Lookout. This has religious, spiritual meaning to native Hawaiians. We then drove into Honoka'a Landing, which is an historic town.  Kalopa State Park. Took a nature walk which talked about the flora and fauna found in this rainforest. They have between 100 and 150 inches of rainfall each year. Kalopa is at about 2200 feet elevation so hopefully tonight will be better sleeping.
