Relocating to Puna

[pslamont]

The Hitch Hiker is one of my ranch hands. He doesn't have a car. I originally met him when he was carrying a 5 gallon propane tank in the pouring rain walking up the 11. Turns out he was helping out a disabled neighbor. She had run out of propane. He acutally walked and hitched from Eden Roc to the Hirano store to do this for her; probasbly over 5 miles each way. Couldn't leave him hauling that heavy tank in the rain that day.. just didn't have the heart to do it. We met a few times later at the store and such. I eventually hired him part time to work on the ranch.

Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!
