The current on again, off again eruption at Kilauea, combined with on again, off again trade winds has resulted in on again, off again vog. This was an on again voggy view towards Hualalai from the mountain road.

No Bike Tours
Pololu is at the end of the main highway through North Kohala. It was popular with bike tour operators who would drop their clients in Hawi for the 15 mile round trip to Pololu lookout and back. However, the stretch from Kapaau is narrow and winding and the shoulder is slim to non-existent. It also gets a lot of traffic with people keen to see the views without getting all hot and sweaty. So after some accidents and more near misses, people lobbied to have the bike tours banned. This duly happened and is, on balance, a good thing I think.
I did like this sign, about 100 yards from the road end at Pololu. It seems a bit late to warn about the ban, but perhaps it’s meant to discourage tour operators from driving their clients to the end of the road and having them cycle back!

Turtles at peace
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Peace.’ See more responses here. Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles come ashore to rest and get a bit of peace. Humans are supposed to stay at least 10 feet away, preferably more.
