I visited the Big Island in January (with my dad) and August of 2003. Both times I stayed with Dave and Sherry Petus and their son Zack. The camping pictures are from my summer solo trip.

It's tough to remember the names of all those beautiful Big Island beaches.

Our campsite for three days in the summer of 2003. Nothing's better than sleeping under the stars on the beach, and then waking up to swim with huge sea turtles.

Another angle looking at the campsite. The tree we're set up under is a Kiawe, a Hawai'ian version of mesquite.

A fresh water "puka" down the beach from our camp site. It was nice to be able to rinse off the saltwater, and also to swim in a pretty scary cave.
