Re: AP from Mauna Kea, was Re: [APML] Poor Blue in 400F?

Hi Alen,

I usually take pictures at 3500m and 4000m elevation.  As you
mentioned, that's well above the visitor station.  There are two
parking lots at these two elevations right next to the summit
access road.  Vehicles can easily get in.  However, a 4WD 
vehicle is needed to go above the visitor center.

Cheers,
Wei-Hao
