Just drive up Saddle far enough to get out of the clouds? The link in the first paragraph leads to a pile of information including dates, times, etc. I hope you get a good view.

Might want to include the date of the event. I'm hoping viewing conditions will be good from the East Hawaii locations you list here. Mahalo for all that info, Andrew.

I'd love to watch your webcast of the transit (I'll only be able to catch the first half of it here on the west coast). Will it be through this site or another?

The shot was made rather quickly while breaking down the telescope. I did move to arrange the elements as I wanted, and adjusted the exposure compensation down a stop to achieve the color and contrast to approximate what I saw without the camera. Thanks!
