across the street:
Strawberry guava, tasty fruit, bentwood furniture, woven fences and????
Up the street (if you guessed very little traffic +8 Internet points)
down the street, roads are decent, not far to paved stuff, mountain bike ready).
Well, my wife and I are in the process of purchasing some land on the Big Island. Escrow still has about another month to close before we have control of the property which is when the real work begins. It is almost 2 acres which has native plant species as well as some invasive strawberry guava. By some, I mean I can't even walk onto the property right now because it is so thick...yes, I'm buying land which I haven't walked or can even see..
Once escrow is closed and I clear a path and a place to camp, I can start having people out. There is no infrastructure right now and town is about 2 1/2 miles away.
No electricity
No toilet
No running water
No roof
You've been in similar situations before, now you have permission and have to keep it right for the next person.
I will be busy for several months working elsewhere to make ends meet while hand clearing the property on my time off (I will be painting the stumps of the invasives with herbicide for all of you who are opposed to using chemicals where appropriate).
If you would like to visit, hang out, meet up, drink two beers or lounge around all day you can...honestly, I don't care if you don't work on the property right now if you are doing something somewhere and just using this as a base (I swear, if you stay here and don't at least work somewhere else, I think you might be a bum and I don't enable bums).
If you want to help with the clearing and it looks like you can without getting hurt, you're welcome to. ***I have $0 to offer in pay at this time, your time would be graciously accepted as a gift.
I plan on bringing a small solar system to charge cordless tools mostly, but your phone/tablet can probably get some too. I also will probably have a nice tarp to shed the rain (150" average/year). Any trash and solid human waste you generate will need to be hauled out by you and disposed of appropriately (I will not be cleaning up after you, I handle my own stuff already).
I don't care if you smoke green stuff or drink whatever, but if it looks like you are creating an unsafe situation or other problems you'll need to find another place.
If you're seriously thinking you'd like to come out, shoot me a pm. Price airfare into Hilo (or Kona which is cheaper, but you'll be hitchin' a little way)
Have fun and be safe!
