Reunited and it feels so good.

It seems there is no shortage of free range roosters on the island.



We hit the local Farmers market. I found some venison.







Not sure what they are called but they are pretty good.





Small but the best Ive ever had.



It was so good the leftovers made a great sunset snack

The trip from Kauai to the big island was less than an hour. Took a taxi to Uncle Billy's in a part of Kona that Wisconsin residents would call the Wisconsin Dells of Hawaii. Uncle Billy's IS NOT the Marriott on Kauai and only a mountain view and thats all I've got to say about that.









During the cab ride from Kona Int'l to Uncle Billy's I saw a Packer flag outside a bar so I walked over to find a Packer bar and eatery on Hawaii. Had a nice chat with the owner's daughter about Wisconsin and hunting. Visitors to Quninn's that are from WI place a pin in their home town. It seems a lot of WI residents have been to Quinn's.

After spending the whole day carrying my bow at 8,000 ft in the saddle between Mt. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, There is not enough Ibuprofen on the Big Island. This Jurassic tree had to have lived a very long life. It dwarfs my bow.

Blood has been spilled on the Mountain and today we head home which will give me about 9 hours of air travel to write it all down and put together the pictures and video. It was an incredible adventure.
