It wasn't terribly hard to pick up the anti-tourist
sentiment in Oahu. In Hilo they put it into action.
The free bus that goes from Hilo to the National
Park leaves at 5:00 AM and doesn't go again until
2:40 in the afternoon. It doubles as a school bus
and tries to pretend that no one else would ever
want to go to one of the most unique natural areas
in the world. If you dislike the tourists so much,
get them to the park and out of your hair.
If you want to camp at one of the state or county
parks you have to go to the state or county office
in Hilo to make a reservation even if you're on the
other side of the Big Island 100 miles away. There's
hardly any point to allowing any camping since the
campgrounds are unattended and not particularly safe
as a result.
