This is the next ride we took in Hawaii. The road we stared on was totally baren and the landscape was rugged. We rode for about 7 miles til we popped out by the ocean. We found some little hill climbs that looked like some that we did in PA.

The beachs we found (2 of them) we empty and we had them to ourselves. They are the only truly green sand beaches known in the world. They are actually the result of the ocean breaking down a vein of semi precious green gems. If you pick up the sand and look close it looks like millions of little green gems, it is unreal.

Jenny and I had a great time exploring and riding in the sand, it is deep sand that was a struggle to ride in till we got on top of it at speed. Overall it was a great ride and lots of fun!

I didn't know there were fish and oceans on the moon. lol

That's really nice pics of your terrain. to think the previous trip was a lush area vs the lava area.

You know anyone hiring there?

Jobs aplenty out here in Hawaii Mass. Hawaii has the lowest unemployment rate in the country which ISN'T good, it has fostered the laziest workforce in the country.

Contractors overcharge so badly out here I flew in friends from the mainland to fix damage to my house from the earthquake! I could pay for their plane tix and put them up for 2 weeks and I still spend less than if I would have hired local lazy help!!

PS the landscape out here is really diverse, we have rainforrests, snowcaps, dessert conditions, pastures, etc.

In that case, be sure to call me when you need your pool cleaned. Fly me out, put me up for two weeks, tell you what - you wouldn't even have to pay me! ha!
