_Wilson_™ 6,593 Posted March 2, 2023 Hello Motorenzo, Welcome to ATVH. Thats a cool image .... I take it that red dirt is volcanic in nature ? Actually isn't there a fellah on the islands that uses red volcanic dirt to dye t-shirts with ? The original red dirt shirt ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct, I’m on the Big Island of Hawaii. That pic is looking south at Pohue bay straight down from Ocean View. 1 hour ago, _Wilson_™ said: Hello Motorenzo, Welcome to ATVH.

Yeah, the Red Dirt Shirt guy is over on Maui I believe. I’m on the Big Island. There are quite a few colors of lava and types and textures as well. Black, Red, Green and yellow colors are common as lava which through the millions of years decomposes into actual dirt. The Big Island is only about a million years old so the East end with the active Volcanos still has more lava than dirt… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The little Pohue Bay is off to the left out of pic. They are called bays over here but are actually just small coves, some with a sand beach but mostly no beach at all, just black lava. Nope, no one lives there, it’s been a part of a 5000+ acre privately owned parcel for many years but was recently gifted (Tax Exemption) to the Feds. (Volcanos National Park) The park has been gifted huge land tracts recently that were big ranches or just parts of ranches. We are talking Feds here so who knows the whys and therefore or what the truth really is in regard to all the private land transfer to the Federal Park. The Pohue Bay land is at least 50 miles from the actual Volcanoes National Park!!! GUESS WHAT, Roads are closed, Gates are locked, We can’t go there!!! We don’t know what their plans are, just waiting to see!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptCoolbreeze 32 Posted March 2, 2023 I like the dog, scenery is cool too! Ive always wanted to go to Hawaii and rent a Harley and check out the hiways and look for dive bars and luaus. Drink drinks with umbrellas and put me feet in pacific sand. Now I'm thinking about quads and trails. See what ya did!!😎 cool cool cool CC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted March 2, 2023 Love them black beaches , I have driven the road to Hana , Maui >>> and experienced the blackest beach I ever seen Have you ever viewed Pohue Bay with Google Earth from above , looks like a visitors station or there was a house there at one time , just north of the beach --- that is a cool looking spot I got in a lot of trouble in Hawaii , first I was catching fish one behind the other , behind the Maui Hilton at Black Rock , I was throwing them back , but they freaked out on me , i bought a license and a pole , was catching angels and tangs --- then I had a dive gear bag full of coral and shells in the airport , taught I was going to jail , lost a lot of dive gear in the incident Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lotta people get busted at the airport trying to take unauthorized junk home with them. My Mother-IN-Law got busted by Ag at Kona, Airport for trying to take a Coconut home to ARIZONA about 20 years ago. It cost her at that time about $200 as I remember. There are some NoNo’s!!! Here is a picture of Pohue Bay. Renzo Edited March 2, 2023 by Motorenzo Add picture 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's where i learned of the dirt shirt.... My younger sisters daughters husband is in the military, they were stationed over there, i missed my chance to go, but they're scheduled to go bsck, this next round I'm going ! I've always wanted to go see the islands.... But was also told the price to live there is much higher then what most in the states deal with, but price doesn't matter to me seeing the islands at least once does!

But was also told the price to live there is much higher then what most in the states deal with, but price doesn't matter to me seeing the islands at least once does! I saw that episode too. I like the show DIRTY JOBS. Hopefully it instills some work ethic into all the generation Z and Millennials to get a dirty worthwhile job and contribute rather than sitting round using their little thumbs to type to their little imaginary friends online. Saw a report on a study of thousands of Young Men recently of Millennial age group that stated 30% did not have even 1 real friend in their miserable life…. Mike Rowe would probably say, ”WELL, GET OUT THERE AND GET A DIRTY JOB, YOU WILL PROBABLY MAKE SOME REAL FRIENDS AND MAYBE EVEN FIND A DIRTY GIRLFRIEND”. LOL. Back to the Hawaii cost of living issue: Thousands of people living through out the Archipelago of Hawaii are leaving!!! They can’t afford to live here anymore… The cost of housing, utilities, food, gas, insurance, etc pretty much everything is just too much. We are retired so we don’t have to pay State Income Tax (As Yet)!! My property tax being full time resident is pretty reasonable. We have no Heating or Cooling expenses. But of course the government has everything else taxed to the max to stick it to the tourist…. I could go on but the point is thousands of people are leaving!!! There are so many thousands of X-Hawaiians living and working in Las Vegas its know here as ”THE 8th ISLAND”!!! ABSOLUTELY, NO HELP FROM THE IDIOTS IN GOVERNMENT. Its been totally dominated 100% since statehood in 1959 by the Democrats and Unions…. Renzo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
