Hilo is one of my favorites. So much good, fresh food. Nice people. Yes, some hippies and drugs, but overall nice, local people.Uphill from Hilo?
Just don't buy beachfront property. I remember hearing about something that happened in 1960. Or was it 1946?Hilo is one of my favorites. So much good, fresh food. Nice people. Yes, some hippies and drugs, but overall nice, local people.
Considered the center of modern Hawaiian culture. Cool vibes.
Lots of rain but also a few really fun surf spots.
The local produce is amazing. Seeing Mauna Kea in the background is inspiring. Like seeing the Rockies.
Also you can drive to other parts of the island that feel totally different.
There's also the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival every year that is a lot of fun.

I've had my eye of this house for a while. In my price range. Just don't know what it would be like living a 30 minute drive to the nearest town. Obviously not a situation most would like because it's been on the market for a long time.Tell us about some old timers living up a canyon along a creek in Big Sur!
Looks damp and dark. Living deep in the forest like that would be weird. Would have to cut some trees down to create a clearing somewhere to get some sun.I've had my eye of this house for a while.

Looks damper and darker in that photo for sure. I think forests are amazing, but I don't want to live inside them. That view from my deck that gets plenty of sun? Fug yeahlol about cutting down trees for light.

He needs to visit the piney woods in east texas. If not for the enlightenment at least for the barbecue.Was at funeral in Oregon two years back.
In attendance was someone from Texas.
At the graveyard he and I are talking about everything except the dead person while waiting for the event to start.
He says, "It sure is pretty around here, but I couldn't do it."
"What?"
He says, "Live here. Its too dark, trees everywhere, its like a bear or mt. lion or something could jump out at any moment."
*looking around the graveyard*
"Uhhh, here?" (actual image of said graveyard where we are having this discussion, we're pretty much in the center of the image...marina at top of image was just ruined during the snowstorm this weekend past, snow induced collapses)

He says, "Yeah, that ravine over there is nothing but trees, shrubs, stickers."
"Oh. Yeah, the ravines are pretty thick, but you don't live in there. They can be fun to hike through or if you're kid, you can play jungle warfare in 'em (this guy was in the army at an earlier point in his life so I thought mentioning that us kids played 'war' would further cement the commonality)."
He says, "Its not just the trees, its the low clouds, the rain, the mist, its just, i don't know, all together, its just spooky, like something is there hidden, waiting for you."
At that point I was just glad we weren't in the old part of the cemetery (Henry Weinhard of local brewing fame is buried at the lower right):
