Spouting Horn

We took a trip down to Spouting Horn. Its so neat its a BLOW HOLE. The thing that makes it neat is it blows water, but it also blows air. Yep when the wave comes, this really loud bloooogh sound comes with it. Kinda makes it feel like its alive. The Legend of the hole is, that the entire coastline in this area was once guarded by a giant female lizard called a mo'o. She would eat anyone who tried to swim or fish in the area. One day a man named Liko went fishing. The mo'o chased Liko into the lava tube. Liko escaped, but the mo'o became trapped in what we now call Spouting Horn, where it cries for hunger and pain can be heard to this day. See what I mean about alive.
