Hi again Jason [

From your response, you sound quite grounded and respectful. Sometimes people come here in the mindset of finding a sort of utopia as some of the hippies did 40 years ago.
I did 't think the bus stop was that far. It seems very close with a car. That center is the only commercial area right near the airport - no question it's the closest stop. The airport is maybe 1 mile in from the highway and I suppose a bit of a grade.
Have you looked into staying rustic at Kalani? That would seem safe ...
I don't think of Pahoa as unsafe and the story of your friend surprised me. I do think that the more a visitor is staying on the fringe and unconnected to others, the more vulnerable to simply disappearing. I'd look for a private campground over public.
