The Blythe Intaglios -

a collection of Native American geoglyphs scraped into the ground measuring up to 170’ in height.

Estimated to have been created 1000 years ago but as the area is sparsely inhabited it wasn’t until the 1930s that a pilot passing over them noticed the figures...

Abandoned Punalu’u Village on Hawaii’s Big Island - 

Opened in the 1970s and suffered a major setback just three years later when a tsunami sent 25′ waves across the land it sits on. Today it deteriorates within stone throwing distance of one of the island’s premier black sand beaches.

Drive dirt roads to the edge of the mountains, hike away from the last vestiges of civilization, and then inflate your paddleboard and balance two people, camera gear and open beer precariously as you cross a lake to a spot looking over Devil's Peak and the Milky Way and then proceed to 'OOOOOOHHHH!!' and 'WHOOOOAAAA' like little kids for hours as the Perseid meteor shower puts on an epic show across the heavens!! . Cascade Lakes, High Sierras. California!
