The pomellos of Pololu

A few weeks ago Chris and I drove up to Pololu Valley in Hawi and hiked back into the valley through thick jungle. About a mile in we found a pomello tree just loaded with fruit. Pomello is a giant sized Hawaiian grapefruit with a thick rind and light colored flesh. Wow, they were yummy. We hauled a couple home. Two fruit filled our backpack and were heavy enough for the steep slog back up to the car.

This dry creek bed led us back down the valley.



Part way down the trail into the valley we posed for this photo wearing t-shirts from our favorite Lake Minnetonka bass fishing guide.
