Thanks Gary. I enjoyed reading your great write-up of a fantastic trip.
Brought back memories of my own trip up there last year, albeit at the mass-tourism level.
Even so ( for those of us who are not fortunate enough to have your local connections),
I highly recommend the Manu Kea astro viewing tour by 4WD bus that starts with sunset viewing at the observatories,
then descends to 9000ft for viewing of glossies via C11.
An unexpected highlight for me was the spectacular sunset shadow of MK extending many kms over the cloud base below.
The Big Island is an amazing place to visit, on many levels, and deserves to be on everyones bucket list.
