Mauna Kea\'s summit shrouded...
Mauna Kea's summit shrouded in clouds from the town of Waimea. Cactus in Hawaii? The Waimea area of Hawaii, at a higher elevation, is home to Hawaiian cowboys, and is right on the cusp of the wet vs. dry sides of the island. Just to the left of the photo is lush, wet, forests. Quite an area. Photo taken 8-27-05.

"One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast ... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotised by desk calculators. I promise you this; you will outlive the bastards."   --Edward Abbey
