Aloha Everyone...Here in Hawaii we experienced some crazy weather the last 2 weeks... In fact it's still raining on and off here on the island of Oahu where I live, on one particular day it started off sunny in the morning then the skies turned dark with some high thunder clouds that formed...
Aloha Everyone: I took some well needed time off from work and went bottling 4 days, 3 times probing in the mud and one time up in the hills on the North Shore of Oahu, sun burnt tired but had a great time with my digging partner...found a few keepers, weather was awesome!!!

Hey Mike,
I got the idea of posting my Hawaiian Whiskeys from your Oregon Hotalings post, I too love Western Whiskeys and have at least one example of each company except the very rare IMPORTED BY. C.L. RICHARDS & CO. S.I. (Sandwich Island) circa 1858, I believe there are less then 5 known...

Went to the North Shore of Oahu today, I always wonder about the balancing rock at Kaiaka Beach Park...As some of you might know Hawaii has it's share of myths and legends the rock is pretty huge and it balances on another rock, it's so odd looking and out of place, you can see light coming from...
Aloha Everyone,
I had a question on a Bay View Brewing Co. quart from Seattle Washington does anyone know how much is it worth...thinking of purchasing one and don't want to pay too much...thanks
Aloha Everyone,
I finally made it out to a place that I haven't been to in about 5 years, the timer was just perfect, 99% of the time the water is a dirty brown color, today was the 1% of the time the water was crystal clear, you could see bottles scattered everywhere, of course majority of the...

Aloha Everyone,
I had the day-off and decided to scout and hike Manoa Valley on the east side of Honolulu...I like Manoa Valley for the dense vegetation and beauty, it's hard to believe it's just a few minutes drive to downtown Honolulu, the trail is quite wide and later thins out to a walking...
Aloha Everyone,
After 2 weeks of not digging the jonzzzzzes was just too much for me LOL...I decided to do a early evening dig, just before sunset I went to my favorite spot and checked the area out... I went back to the same hole that has been producing for me...Of course the hole was bombed...
