Waiakea, Hawaii

It stretches for miles and ends at Waiākea-Uka (the area on the slopes of Mauna Loa).

There are also some cattle farms in Waiākea-Uka, and a state forest reserve.

[4] When William Ellis visited in 1823, Waiākea was the main settlement on Hilo Bay.

Several eruptions of Mauna Loa (the most recent in 1984) have threatened the area.

[7] A clock found in the rubble set to the exact time when it stopped in 1960 serves as a memorial.
