Ehukai Pillbox and Pearl Harbor 5-10-21 Oahu hikes

Ehukai Pillbox (1st bunker)

Went hiking with my friend Gary and took maybe about 30 mins to here. Was just muddy for the most part. The hike had some turnout that day. You had recognizable character paintings inside the bunker. Have fun figuring them out.

2nd bunker

The view inside the bunker

The 2nd bunker is roughly another 5-10 min hike. This one I feel gets ignored because most people are unaware of it's presence. Thus, its the reason why you are able to have the picture often times by itself. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the bunker's surface was a painted peace sign before, but now it looks like a fish of some sort. Anyhow, the 2nd bunker everyone.

Lunch at Jorge's Tacos and Ceviche

I had the Mexican Coke. It uses cane sugar instead of corn syrup. I felt it tasted less sugary and less acidic. That's coke in a bottle for you. The food was ok though.

Pearl Harbor (U.S.S Utah Memorial)

It's been ages but it's my return to the Utah thanks to Gary. The surfaced port of the ship is mostly rusted now then I remembered. There are flowers growing close to where the abandoned tow cables lie.

U.S.S Oklahoma Memorial

Well, its been ages since I was here too. The markers which each represent the fallen 429 men of the once capsized Oklahoma are starting to rust. The U.S.S Missouri lies in the background. Ironically, this is where the Oklahoma capsized back in 1941.

U.S.S Arizona memorial from Ford Island

I sometimes saw pictures of a plaque from Ford Island on the net. Me and Gary decided to explore and voila! Found it. It's also a residential area so don't make trouble if you come here. Enjoy the view.

Thank you for viewing and Mahalos. See you on the next adventure. Thank you Jesus for a good day!

Today in Oahu, Hawaii 6/30/20: Laie Point Sea Arch, Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove, Laniakea Beach, and Haleiwa Alii Beach.

La'ie Point (La'ie Point State wayside Park) Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Ditto on the Tamron Also known as "Lizard Rock." There is a story behind this but I won't divulge into it. You can look this up online. I finally got a chance to check this place out. A very nice scenery with a small parking lot. Also folks, try to park in a fashion where others can park and enjoy the view as well. There was a car that literally, in a sense, double parked (took up lots of space) forcing me to nearly park near an edge. Please be courteous to others. We want to enjoy the view and grab memories as well. Sunset Beach A shot under the tree A shot under the tree: the opposite direction As you enter the beach, to your right is the famous 100 year old tree that everybody sits and takes a pic with despite a sign telling you to not sit on it.

Fairbanks, Alaska 3/6-3/9

Here was the ender to my trip before my return to HNL. First time to Alaska and hopefully it won't be my last. Santa Claus House Possibly the best place to shop for gifts if you are near here. It's about 20-25 mins south of Fairbanks. Antler Arch The museums here are free. Take advantage. The arch was close by as well. Ice Museum Fairbanks $15. Good for family, couple, or group pics. Regardless, there is a slide here that is worth the admission. Around the area, there is a Moldovan restaurant named Soba. It was my first time and worth the try! Pioneer Park Closed during these times, its a neat touristy spot to walk your legs. You can walk inside but most shops and attractions are closed however. Come during summer. Pikes Waterfront Lodge This was the place where I initially wanted to stay at first but Airbnb often provide cheaper results. The Love Alaska sign is here and there are some ice sculptures as well. I say this is the hotel that is worth a see if you are here. My ...

Makiki Valley secret waterfall Oahu hikes

Because it's considered a secret I can not divulge how to get there. If you recognize some of the landmarks in my pics, then it should be good enough to tell you where it is. The waterfall is found in Makiki Valley loop trail so good luck. It is roughly about 20-30 mins in from the entrance. I did this with the meetup.com crew. So enjoy the pics. If you find it then good for you. And remember to keep it a secret. The waterfall Enjoy. It's a nice scene if you do find it. You can hike to the top of the fall in which I did. It's like several minutes if anything from the bottom. Just always watch your footing. Take care folks. Thank you God and thank you to the meetup.com crew. Laters.
