The viewpoint to Waipio Valley on the Big Island. Waipio Valley is located in the north east corner of the island. During the "War" the army kept a post on the beach and cut a steep road to the bottom of the valley. The state of Hawaii has not seen fit to upgrade the road. I hope the state never does. The road is pretty much the same as 1941. There is a small number of families that live in a handful of houses in the valley. George, my guide and driver, lives in a small house on the valley floor.

The view looking down to the valley beach.

We almost to the valley floor and the breaks are squealing.

George my guide and drive on my tour through the valley. He is full of information about valley related subjects.

Waipio Falls, it's over a 1000 feet high. But there is very little water in the falls because of a damn on the plane above the falls. You only see water in the falls when it's raining. I think the damn is a big mistake.

One of several streams on the valley floor.

Pretty much the same place but a different view.

Informal: Our group breaks up at the end of the road!

Again looking west up the valley.

This house is on plane at the top of the valley. I have never seen pink rust until now. The house is located in the Kukuhaele village.
