    I went in a Mustang 3 years ago. It wasn't the greatest of ideas. The Jeep wasn't as good as I was envisioning, either. Based on how fast and stable he was going, apparently a Nissan Armada is the perfect vehicle for the journey. :laugh:
    I went on the hike alone 6 years ago. I dragged my wife with me this time. We're both absolutely wrecked right now.

    Still worth it!

    We only made it to the beach, not the falls. I'm not sure we'd have survived that one. :laugh:

    For both of these places, the destinations are amazing but I'm not sure the journey is worth it. It was good once but probably never again.

    The rest of the trip we'll be staying pretty close to home. Her conference stars in about 8 hours then there's a welcome dinner tonight. My feet are still killing me (my phone tracked just over 19,000 steps yesterday, and they were far from easy steps!) so I'm not sure if I'll venture out on a walk or just take a nap (I've been up since 2:30...). :laugh:

    I had a similar problem with getting VHF (or rather not getting VHF). To be fair, I received VHF (and the antenna was speced for VHF) but it just did so poorly. I also learned that some areas are still using VHF-low and many 'hd' antennas are not tuned to receive VHF-low. I ended up buying this VHF antenna add-on and it fixed all of my VHF reception issues.

    So very true I guess we more mature people did not have someone else to do the thinking.

    Even today I would much rather see a drawing or print then watch a video.

    The amount of people that can`t read above a Day Care level is scary

    Then I also love I am sorry your 86 Toyota 4Runner is to old our computer does not go back that far.

    The beach is more or less the same as the others on the island, just MUCH more difficult to get to. Google shows the beach at 3 miles long before it turns the corner near the Pacific Missile Range and there were only 6 other people out there.

    First day of my wife's conference. Walked her over to it, went back to the condo to eat lunch and headed out exploring.

    This is the resort her conference is at. Room facing the parking lot or tennis courts are more expensive than the condo we rented and somehow we're still closer to the conference room itself, and we can see the ocean from our room. :laugh:

    Our condo is just in view on the far left.

    The previous cliff is about dead center.
