Ok everyone has sunsets on Hawaii, this is a sunrise on our way to Makapuu point.

We figured since this was our last day in Hawaii we should do all we could.

Light house was built in 1909 and became automated in 1974 and the Coast Guard maintains it.

There is a 2 mile hike to the light house and you can see for miles.

Plenty of history around here. There are lots of what look like pill boxes that may have been used for lookout points. This is as far east as you can go on Oahu

Engine #85 100 years old.

After a 4 mile hike we drove to Ewa and found the Hawaiian Railway Society.

Kind of by accident, (it was marked in the GPS) and since we had time we went to find it.

After we arrived here, the place was pretty quiet, didn't look like there was anybody around so we started to take some pictures, when Tom comes out of the work shop, and asks us if we like trains? Umm... we politely said yes and he asked if we got here by accident, we told him we hadn't, we were looking for it.

He was excited to have visitors I guess, because we got the TOUR of the yard and the workshop, as well as a history of the railroad in Hawaii. The Engine above had only been there 3 days, and was a pretty big deal to get it there. It was in CA from 1955 until the early 70's when it was shipped back to Maui for repairs, and sat there for years until the historical society purchased it back and brought it back to Oahu. It will probably not be restored, but repaired and put on display.

If you get to Oahu and want to ride a train look up the Historical Society, and if you see Tom McCarthy say hello to him he is a really neat character.

Thanks Tom

Some people have red headed step children, well Hawaii has red headed birds,
Pretty cool looking

Our last meal in Waikiki, east end of town heading away from the beach, we found this place Burgers on the Edge! Wow we should have found them first! The burgers are great, and don't cost a ton of money.
A definite must, along with Puka Dogs in Waikiki.
