Aloha,

I'm wondering what are the structures on Kulua Rd. off Lava Rd. near Solomons Rd.?

ANSWER: Aloha,
I am not sure but there is a military camp near that area and it is restricted.
It could be part of that camp.
By the way: strange question I thought. Why you want to know?

QUESTION: Mahalo!  I spend a couple of hours a day searching for a home on the Big Island.  I've visited 10 times over the past 17 years.  I locate each home for sale on Google Earth and evaluate it in terms of  geological stability, lol, elevation and view.  The structures caught my eye and I wondered if they were missile silos or some such sinister thing.  I think Hawaii should be left alone by government warriors, etc.  Mahalo nui loa.  Kat

Answer
Aloha Kat,
WOW I hope you find a home here then :-) since you like it so much.
No missiles here, but lots of military.
Some of the structures date from WWII even, so this could be an old thing.
Looks almost like a helicopter platform but then of course it would be from maybe the 60's or 70's.
Good luck on you finding a home in our paradise :-)

PS: and mahalo for the kind feedback
