Aloha!
Before I blog about our quaint and treasured town, allow me to describe our fabulous island, Hawaii.

The island that gives Hawaii its name is one of the most spectacular and geographically diverse places in the world, with 11 of earth’s 13 climates. Snow-capped mountains, great surfing, an active volcano, and cascading waterfalls, make the Big Island a paradise for those wishing to explore some of Mother Nature’s finest work. Travel into another world under the sea where caves and coral reefs are home to colorful tropical fish and more than a few surprises. There aren’t many places where you can witness lava flowing directly from a volcano like you can at Kilauea. Travel into space by heading up Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s tallest mountain at nearly 14,000 feet, and home to the largest telescopes in the world.

The Big Island, the state’s largest island at 4,034 square miles is twice the size of all other Hawaiian Islands combined. At 800,000 years the Big Island is the youngest of the island chain. However, it was the first island discovered by voyaging Polynesians. The Big Island was formed by five volcanoes, two of which are still active. Kilauea Volcano is the world’s most continuously active volcano. Two of the tallest mountains in the Pacific - Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa - dominate the center of the island. Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world (measured from its base at the ocean floor) at over 13,700 feet tall.

The largest contiguous ranch, in the United States, is in Hawaii. The Parker Ranch near Kamuela has about 480,000 acres of land. Ka Lae is the southernmost point in the United States. It is located at 18:54:49 N 155:41:00 W. There is a constant 27 knots per hour wind blowing east to west, 24 hours per day and 365 days per year. The Big Island also has the most diverse climates of all the Hawaiian Islands. From tropical rainforests to open prairie and snow covered mountains. Hawaii temperatures are in general are mild and do not vary more than about +/- 5 degrees throughout the year. The island houses the world’s biggest telescope and more scientific observatories in one place than anywhere else in the world.
The islands primary industries include tourism, diversified agriculture and cattle ranching. It has the world’s largest macadamia nut industry, the largest orchid-growing business, and a major coffee industry.
