59Parks: Hitchhiking in Hawaii
I arrived in Puna, in Hawaii, and realized there's no public transport and I'm far from any town or city. So I did the Hawaiian thing and put my thumb out. Read the full blog post here: 59parks.com/blog

Visit Sig Zane and the Farmers Market in Downtown Hilo
Downtown Hilo is full of things to do! Everyone must visit the Hilo Farmers Market, where local farmers bring fresh fruits and vegetables and shoppers can either indulge for an easy lunch or buy food to stock up on for dinner. Shop the downtown area full of boutiques and art stores, eat lunch at a local restaurant, and be sure to check out the incredible wearable art at the Sig Zane store. Sig Zane is a local artist, surfer, clothing designer, and all-around cool guy. He and his son are the designers of the beautiful artwork passengers see on the livery of the Hawaiian Airlines’ ‘Ohana by Hawaiian planes.

Hawaii from Maui to Hanauma Bay
Bobby visits Hanauma bay and heads to Maui.
Hawaii ( /həˈwaɪ.iː/ (help·info) or /həˈwaɪʔiː/ in English; Hawaiian: Mokuʻāina o Hawaiʻi) is the newest of the 50 U.S. states (August 21, 1959), and is the only state made up entirely of islands. It occupies most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast of Australia. Hawaii's natural beauty, warm tropical climate, inviting waters and waves, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. Due to its mid-Pacific location, Hawaii has many North American and Asian influences along with a vibrant native culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight main islands are (from the northwest to southeast) Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻi. The last is by far the largest and is often called The Big Island to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. The archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.
In standard American English, Hawaii is generally pronounced /həˈwaɪ.iː/. In the Hawaiian language, it is generally pronounced [həˈwɐiʔi] or [həˈvɐiʔi]. Hawaii has produced one U.S. President, Barack
Hike Hawaii - Hau'ula Uka - 2019
(6.37 Mi/ 13,893 steps/ 154 flrs/ 1619 cals*/ Intermediate / Ridge / Hau'ula)
*My FitBit stats
On a overcast somewhat chilly day we started on the Hau’ula loop trail for about a mile, then we veered off to start climbing a ridge to a scenic lunch spot. After a wind chilled lunch stop we connected with a nearby ridge, which took us back down to the Hau’ula loop trail. Along the way we saw scenic coastal views and great verdant views of Kaipapa’u gulch.

Captain Cook Monument Hike Kealakekua Bay
We walk through everything you need to know about the hike down to the Captain Cook monument at Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island.
For directions you can Google Maps search 19.493,-155.918
Or, if you prefer actual directions, just south of the town of Kealakekua you will want to turn makai (towards the ocean) onto Napo'opo'o Rd. Just a few hundred feet down this road you will want to park on the mauka (towards the mountain) side of the road. Be sure to pull completely off of the road so you don't get sideswiped!
Trail description: the trail is approximately 1.8 miles long with an elevation loss of 1250 ft going down. Coming back up is a bit more strenuous, as you will be climbing, climbing, climbing. There are no difficult obstacles. The main thing you need to look out for is loose footing. Don't slip and hurt yourself or twist an ankle!
Once you get to the bottom of the trail, stay to the left till you see the monument to Captain James Cook.
This is an excellent spot for snorkeling! It is actually considered to be one of the best on the island!

Tough Mudder Kansas (Topeka) 2013- First Time Mudder, GoPro First Person View HD. F'N Legit!
This is the footage I shot when I completed the Tough Mudder Kansas 2013 in Topeka! I tried to make it as short and sweet as possible. I will not forget this experience and I am already pre registering for multiple ones for next year. For all the future mudders, you wont regret it!
If you see yourself or remember seeing me in the Saturday 0800 heat (Superman briefs and socks with capes) comment or message me if you want me to check if I have video of you.
Dont over think this event. HAVE FUN! I see people freaking out abt what shoes to wear or if they should wear gloves etc. Just go out there and do it! People who are normally active and fit will find this event easy (i use that term loosely). Personally the only challenge I had was not stopping for those 13 miles. By the end my legs were cramped and done!
But again HAVE FUN!

Mauna Loa
Mauna Loa (/ˌmɔːnə ˈloʊ.ə/ or /ˌmaʊnə ˈloʊ.ə/; Hawaiian: [ˈmɔunə ˈlowə]) is one of five volcanoes that form the Island of Hawaii in the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi in the Pacific Ocean. Mauna Loa is the largest subaerial volcano in both mass and volume, and has historically been considered the largest volcano on Earth. It is an active shield volcano, with a volume estimated at approximately 18,000 cubic miles (75,000 km3), although its peak is about 120 feet (37 m) lower than that of its neighbor, Mauna Kea. The Hawaiian name Mauna Loa means Long Mountain. Lava eruptions from Mauna Loa are silica-poor, and very fluid; eruptions tend to be non-explosive and the volcano has relatively shallow slopes.
Mauna Loa has probably been erupting for at least 700,000 years, and may have emerged above sea level about 400,000 years ago. The oldest-known dated rocks are not older than 200,000 years. The volcano's magma comes from the Hawaii hotspot, which has been responsible for the creation of the Hawaiian island chain over tens of millions of years. The slow drift of the Pacific Plate will eventually carry Mauna Loa away from the hotspot within 500,000 to one million years from now, at which point it will become extinct.
