Kipuka Puaulu - March 29

On the way - View of Mona Kea and observatories at  13,796' above sea level - highest point on the island
A kipuka is a pocket of land that the most recent lava flow missed.  It has older growth and, usually lush, vegetation where birds and wildlife flourish.
Jungle turkey?
