not there.
This small town cinema has nothing to do with solving the puzzle, but it made me wish i had stopped in Honokaa: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2413/...4001e2.jpg?v=0 I'm going to have to go back and catch a movie there someday. And crap! I missed this one in Hilo too: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/114/3...27a8f9bc3b.jpg |
I don't think you're here since it's in Narberth PA not Hawaii....though I'm starting to get suspicious. But if you're ever around this area, stop in to our local little movie theater in Narberth PA, a couple blocks down from my house.

waikii?
|
can you see Maui from where you are, or are you just slicing me slowly with your samurai sword? .....ssssssss
|
nope, not waikii
-----Added 8/2/2009 at 05 : 13 : 13----- Yeah, i can see Maui. That's Haleakala and the clouds on the lee side of Maui. This place makes lots of top ten lists. It's also probably the cheapest place to stay in the area. |
Are you standing on a Honu, the Hawaiin green sea turtle?...at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park?
|
Even if i stood on a honu, Hualalai would block my view of Haleakala. Also, we'd be off the shortest route from the summit of Mauna Kea to Puako. So no, i'm not there.
I could see it from up high, but we've established that i'm not on a Mauna Kea. Waimea and Waikii are kinda high up, but i'm not in those places. Where else am i going to have good views across the channel? Unlike this guy, i'm not in the channel nor am i being assisted by a honu in any way http://www.ten-f.com/urashima-kuniyoshi1.jpg |
|
No, but you're on the right road.
I was looking at a crappy map and forgot about Waikoloa Rd. Don't take it! Saddle Rd. & 19 are nicer drives. Are you sure that's the Waimea on the big island? That looks more like Waimea on Oahu. As you can guess by the picture, Waimea on the big island is pretty dry. It does get lots great rainbows: http://www.jczinn.com/North%20America/Hawaii/endday.jpg |
Ahhh, I think you're right. I got the Waimeas mixed up, not even knowing there could be more than one; sort of like a multitude of Philadelphias.
I'm going to go check out those roads. |
|
You're right, I have been seeing a lot of rainbows during my search. But I'm still searching.
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...MountainRo.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...verKamuela.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...overWaimea.jpg How about Kohala? I'm pleased to learn that it is thought to be the oldest volcano making up the Hawaiin Islands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohala_(mountain) http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...la_volcano.jpg |
No, we'd be straying off the path again if we headed up to Kohala. And as you've seen, there is only grass, cattle, and rainbows below Waimea. I'm not anywhere between the coast and Waimea. That doesn't leave much left for guessing.
Kohala is the oldest on Hawai'i, yes, but as you go Northwest in the chain, the age of the volcanoes increases. Kauai is 5 million years old, Kohala about half a million. http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mapchain.gif USGS page on Hawaiian volcanoes. To sum up, this is what you guys have it narrowed down to: http://s364.photobucket.com/albums/o...sibilities.png |
Dear mr. elusive guyy, how about Mauna Kea Golf Course?
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...0I/1127320.jpg ...it seems to be in that area where you're hiding http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...GolfCourse.jpg |
I've never golfed in my life, and i wouldn't want to get hit with a ball. I'm closer to the water, too.

Are you at the Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site?
Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site is a United States National Historic Site located on the northwestern coast of the island of Hawai'i. The site preserves the National Historic Landmark ruins of Pu'ukoholā Heiau ("Temple on the Hill of the Whale"). This temple was built by King Kamehameha the Great between 1790 and 1791 on the site of an older temple to gain the favor of the war god Kuka'ilimoku. In the middle of 1791, he sacrificed his chief rival Keoua at this temple, allowing him to unite all of Hawaii. A visitor center operated by the National Park Service is located at the site. An interpretive trail begins at the visitor center and leads to the ruins of Pu'ukoholā. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...istoric_Si.jpg |
Waikoloa Village?
|
Even closer to the water.
No, not Waikoloa village. |
Puako?
|
Not Pukao. I can hear the waves.
|
|
I do like the petroglyphs, but that's not where i am now. Some people make the trip just to see the petroglyphs.
|
|
No, where i am, it's much cheaper to stay. Probably not as luxurious, though. Here's a pic:

Are you at Hapuna Beach?
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...%20I/hp7-1.jpg Hapuna Beach Hapuna Beach is a landscaped beach park covering 62 acres. It is a favorite of locals and a beautiful stretch of beach.

http://leler.com/hawaii/DSCN0300.JPG http://www.kcadventures.com/water-beach%20small.jpg It's a great beach, supposedly one of the best in the US. Strong currents, though. I almost ended up in Maui! You're up, bad boy. |
you wore me out, guyy ;) ...now I'm half asleep so you'll have to give me until the morning eastern u.s. time to go hide. Pleasant dreams of Hawaii in the meantime.

Finally you see that Dela wore a New Jersey! Yes I'm in Joisey. Sometimes what I say is a clue though most of the time I'm just full of hot air :paranoid: Now the place I am is a very interesting significant building, not just a city or town. |
ngdawgs house?

Not 6 Flags. Think "interesting building", not on the beach, a few miles inland. After you nailed NJ, I did sneak in sort of a clue in one of my previous posts.
|
Cathedral of the Air?
|
Not knowing what it is, I looked that up, Tul. I'm not there. But the "air" part had me thinking twice since that could be an appropriate name for where I am.
|
NAES Lakehurst?
|
Tul man, you are so close I can smell you....but I asked for a building. So hit me up with a quite significant building at that location and you got me.
|
Hangar #1? The building in the background of the famous Hindenburg disaster, I think it's still there.
|
You found me. I'm in Hangar 1. You're up next, Tul.
And yes, it is still there. I worked at Toms River Chemical for a project a couple years ago (still glowing in the dark from that) and I used to pass the base and look over at this humungous interesting building every day...I knew what it was but I'd love to take a tour and go inside. I should find out if that's possible. The largest building in this pic is Hangar 1...the blimp flag marks the spot where der Hindenberg ging in Flammen auf http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ter_Marker.jpg You will probably notice the swastikas on the Hindenberg in this shot of it sticking out of Hangar 1 on one of it's trans-Atlantic trips before the manatee incident http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Hangar1_36.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...rom_hangar.jpg And a shot of the tragic end of the big airship: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...hindenberg.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...02bcdea730.jpg and just for good measure, a complementary cool pic I found while searching for Hangar 1 pics: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...-5961C-011.jpg |
Really? You used to work at a place with a view of blimp hangers? Here's the view out the front door of the first real job I had after being discharged from the US Navy-
http://members.tripod.com/airfields_...eb_hangars.jpg The hanger in the front is hanger B. Hanger A, in the back ground, burned to the ground in '92. I was working a youth correctional facility. We used to walk the kids around the old air base and use the old rec. equipment. The old base even has it's own bowling alley complete with manually pin setting rigs. We used to tell the kids if they could throw a baseball over the roof we'd give them their parole paper papers. None ever managed to come close. Small world. OK where am I? |
NH?
I love those huge airplane hangars....and I need to see about getting a ride in a blimp. Maybe next time I'll buy Goodyear tires or something. About manual pin setting at a bowling alley, when I was a kid our parish church parochial school built a new extension on the school and in the basement they built in four bowling alleys but with manual pin setups. So as kids we'd go down there when the old guys were bowling and they'd pay us huge bucks for setting their pins, which back then was $0.10 a game and maybe a tip if the guy bowling won some money. I used to get tipped extra well by a couple of bowler gamblers when I "helped" their game: I would be sitting up behind the pin rack with a bowling pin in hand, and just as his ball hit the first pin, I would throw the extra pin down at the back few pins as hard as I could and knock down a bunch more just in case...never got caught but I did confess this "sin" to Father ?...forgot his name, but he couldn't understand one word of English (only Polish) so we'd have no hesitation telling him all sorts of evil sins we committed since all he would say is "good boy, five our father five hail mary" and we'd be saved! |
NH, yes.
That's funny my dad worked his way through school setting pins. I'd guess knowing my dad there were no "extra" pins when he set them. Those blimp hanger I posted are in Tillamook, Oregon. There for a while a company made blimps in them in the late 80's. Last one I saw fly out was a Metlife blimp. A guy I worked with kid was working there, I never could bum a ride. They made it sound like I had a better chance of getting lift on the space shuttle. Maybe I should send NASA a letter- Nah, e-mail they seem like they could be techie types.. |
WH?
I have some hook-ups in Houston, I'll see what I can do. Besides NASA Johnson, my buddy in Houston is ex-AirForce...actually seems like he's never quite "ex" and he and a couple of his buddies are always flying around...I need to fly, at least in a small plane, preferrably fast. |

in a city?

Not looking for a city, looking for a specific location though. In fact I'm very near a city but I don't think I'm within the city limit. I'll check.
Yep, near a city but about 5m. out of town according to the internets. |
a crossroads?
|
No not a cross roads.
|
Is this place related to volcanoes?
