Hello again,
I was wondering if anyone has ever lived up Paauilo way. I have stayed there many times and have an offer on a home there with a very strong chance of going through. Oh, and did you see the sinkhole in Paauilo with the recent rains? Crazy!

Yup, live around Pauuilo, it's a great area. I've heard good things about their school, too, although they changed principles a year or so ago so I don't know the current status.
Great soil, good community, very low theft and vandalism in the area. Is this in Pauuilo camp or up mauka? There's a lot of ranching and such in the area.
Yeah, that washed out road was impressive.
Picture of washout
It wasn't a true sinkhole, the metal culvert under the road got washed out and then the road wasn't supported and fell in. The effect is the same, Vera's truck (and Vera) fell into the hole, but the hole got there by the dirt washing away instead of mysteriously disappearing like an official sinkhole.

Yeah, sinkholes like the ones in Florida are caused by underground rock, especially limestone, being dissolved away by acidic water.
We've got the acidic rain, for sure, but not the limestone, so what we see are washouts.

Hello,
Thanks for the responses, I am a tad confused though. Dakine, is this hostility? Do you live around Paauilo and have experienced hostility? Or do you live there and don't want any newbies?
