Peoplescapes in Hawaii...and a snail

Kerry and I at Oheo Gulch on Maui

On top of Haleakala - Maui

About 1000 feet down the inside of the crater. Note that at 10,000 feet the sun is so intense it does strange things to the photo...color, contrast, etc...I wonder what it's like at 30,000 feet...

Kerry getting out of the MD-500 we just flew in over Maui and Molokai. No doors!

Kerry looking out the...well, I guess I'll call it "where the doors are supposed to normally be". Here we are nearing Maui coming from Molokai.

The McDonnell Douglas 500 and our pilot. My first helicopter ride and it just happened to be in my favorite helicopter ever.

That's us in our navy blue flightsuits.

Kerry - First day in Hawaii!

Chase from California was there with his father, Cory...and...

...his mother, Mel. It just happened that they were on Oahu the same time we were. Very cool indeed.

Pupukea Point - Haleakala, Oahu

Snail visiting our front yard at night. I wanted to cook him in some butter and garlic and eat him. His shell was about 3 inches long. Big sucker. UPDATE: Found out today that this is an African Giant Snail. It is considered a pest because it eats so much vegetation AND is dangerous to humans in that it usually carries a parasite that carries encephalitis. Good thing I didn't cook it because to kill the encephalitis it needs to be cooked thoroughly which is something I usually don't do.

Pupukea Point again. Last night in Hawaii. "Bye Tyler! We had a great time visiting your new home!"
