Kualoa Ranch -more Lost


I love the mountains on the windward side of Oahu. They look like a giant sleeping dinosaur.

Here we are with China Man's Hat in the background.

Another pretty flower, I don't know what kind it is.

We took a 2 hour horseback ride at Kualoa Ranch. Part of the reason for the ride was that Kualoa Ranch is popular filming location. Some movies that were filmed here are 50 First Dates; You, Me & Dupree; Jurassic Park; and Lost. :)

Here is Clay on his horse, Michelin (like the tires, and Rebekah).

More of Kane'ohe Bay and the beautiful colors of the water.

My horse, Hercules.

More cool mountains.

This is the dead tree from Jurassic Park. This is the scene when Dr. Grant and little Tim are watching the dinosaurs run and change directions, just like a flock of birds, right for them and they hid under the tree to keep from getting trampled.

Not much to see here, but a great Lost sight. To the right was where Hurley made his golf course. And to the left, up the hill, is where they pushed Hurley down the hill to jump start the Dharma van. It is actually a short hill that they just filmed over and over again. I couldn't get a good picture of either b/c I was on a moving horse.

A footprint from Godzilla.

More cool mountains with a lone Monkeypod tree at the top.

Oahu's marine corps base is just at the tail of this turtle shaped peninsula.

So beautiful. Makes me want to go back now. We went to Kauai for our honeymoon and plan to go back and visit more of the islands in 4 years for our 10th anniversary. Looks like you two had a blast.
