NJCarole and katze have been wandering around Hawaii and checking out
the sites!! All we can say is WOW!!!!!
On the Big Island we found the following and both were alive and well
*Bird of Paradise
*Volcano Vista
On Oahu we have found the following alive and well
*Memories (we took this one away for about 2 hours - someone was
cleaning up all the rocks in the area and I was afraid he would "clean
up" the box as well.
*Diamond Head Beach Park (?name)
*Tropic Lightening
and Kohelepelepe we could not find - I think we were in the right
place, but no luck.
Wow, wow, wow!!

If you guys get a chance and you're still on Oahu, check out Silent
Sentinal. I was there last year and replaced the journal, it's a
great view and the hike was only about 2 hrs round trip...beautiful
kodak spots at the top

My Fellow Letterboxers,
I, Investigator Francis Bacon, have returned from places unknown. After working with first that sot who calls himself Der Mad Stamper, and then that fussy old biddy Emily Post, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Let me tell you, Der Mad Stamper is mad, as mad as a hatter. Emily Post, don't even go there. No pleasing Mrs. Manners. But, let me get to the point.
What better way to recover sanity than to indulge in insanity? So on Tuesday June 12, 2007, I boarded Aloha Airlines, heading for the obligation of my niece's wedding. Which of course was just a stepping-stone to the real reason for my visit: Letterboxing.
My time limited, due to family obligations, I was not able to explore the island. However I did manage a hike on the Captain Cook's Monument Trail. Captain Cook was killed as a result of a miscommunication. Something to remember. But, I did not come here to talk about work, insanity or Captain Cook; I came here to talk letterboxing. I left to escape insanity; I came back to divulge information, boxes found and boxes planted.
There are less than a hundred letterboxes in Hawaii and only 2 listed mysteries. If you travel there, take some time out to plant. The islands are sadly lacking. What is there is mostly hand carved stamps, well-hidden, nice locations. Letterboxing in Hawaii is an exercise in stealth. The tourists are over-running the joint. Those of you planting in the Islands better be investing in water-tight containers. The cheap stuff isn't going to cut the mustard. Planting in Waikiki will be a challenge as the homeless have a good handle on the better hiding spots. Then again, enough Mai Tais and any spot will look good. Disappointing though to see that not much in the way of mystery boxes are being planted.
Sincerely,
Investigator Francis Bacon

I will make a mental note of this for when I return in the fall. It wouldn't be on The Valley Isle would it? I did manage to find 12 boxes on my visit last month. That is not to say the islands couldn't use more.
