"Today is a Good Day to Drive!" .....Van-Go

We dropped Justin off at the airport; he has a conference in Las Vegas for a few days. And we decided to just drive around the area. We found a chain fence. We found a small airport. And a museum, but it was closed. They must have had a prescribed burn in the area. We found where you can have a paintball fight. Solar panels were behind wire fences. There is a large ditch being put in along a back road. Not sure what they do back there. So the new ditch is being put in all along the fence line and behind us is that chemical plant. More solar panels. and you can see the burn was prescribed as it stopped before damaging the panels. The was a big construction area. It was right beside the little airport. There was an elementary school out here. At the end of the road we found a fence with flowers; not sure why, but it looked festive.

He is getting ready for the preformance. Fist they tell of the importance of th

It was a rainy day; it is the rainy season.  We decided to drive around to get pineapple ice cream. The fan palms are so pretty. The sky would look like it was going to clear, but never really did. The pine trees of Oahu are very interesting. A covered bridge! We arrived at the Dole Plantation. After looking around a few minutes we ordered our pineapple ice creams and sat outside because it was much warmer than sitting inside with the air conditioning. We watched the train; there were not many people around since it was cold and rainy. We found another place next door that was closed. The Helemano Plantation.  We will have to stop next trip It looked very inviting. Off we go again continuing around the island. There are mountains. There are fields and steep valleys. They are once again growing pineapples on the island. Thos pine trees  help break up the winds that come with the rainy weather. You can see down to the ocean. We continue our drive on route 83 around the island. This is no
