  • And now, down another trail. This one is VERY easy and VERY level.
  • We are being watched!
  • I think he wants to compete with the Geico Gecko.
  • Have you ever shipped something by DHL? Well, according to local lore, the boat Olga is leaning against belonged to the H: Larry Hillblom, after making millions as DHL co-founder, moved to Saipan, supposedly to avoid paying U.S. taxes. He died at sea in an airplane crash in 1995. Apparently, there was once a road to here (the boat is on a large trailer). Now, however, it seems so odd to see this huge boat in the middle of the jungle!
  • Just next to the boat is this abandoned building, part of the old "Cow Town" guest ranch of Larry Hillblom.

  • And that brings us down to the coast!
  • Feel free to spend the next 2 minutes and 17 seconds watching waves with us!<br /> <br /> Music by Kevin MacLeod of incompetech.com

  • Here, Olga is on the wall of an old Japanese bunker (from WWII).
  • Then, after that last photo, we returned to the trail head, at Banzai Cliffs.
  • Another 3 minutes, 39 seconds of wave watching. Please forgive the shake. It was quite windy that day. That's also the reason you can't hear the waves on most of this: My microphone picks up LOTS of wind noise, so I have to block it out to avoid having lots of pesky "static" sounds in the video.<br /> <br /> Music by Kevin MacLeod of incompetech.com
