[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 812649, member: 7233"] Been meaning to post a few pics from our visit to Hawaii in January. It felt so good to be in warm, tropical weather. We were only there a few days, but one of the highlights of our trip was visiting good friends who live and work on a large cattle ranch on the lower slopes of snow capped Mauna Kea Volcano (elevation 13,796 ft) on the big island. The rolling grasslands and big trees remind me of home, but it's tropical and green year round. Deep, dark ravines run down the hillsides. When cows slip in, which they sometimes do when they try to eat passion fruit growing in the ravines, they don't come out again. The ranch is approx. 3,000 acres ranging from 2,000 ft to 8,000 ft elevation. They run 5 herds of cattle - purebred Charolais, Hereford, Salers and 2 herds of crossbreds. We spent the day visiting but only saw a fraction of the place. It's a pure slice of heaven. For sale too, only $3.4 million, animals, equipment and homes included. To, me it's an unimaginable amount of money, but if I could afford it I'd think it was a bargain.
