Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Forty

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Mokihana

We’re coming to the end of Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed. Ahahahaha. It only took me about a year or so. I think this post and one or two more are gonna do it, and then we’ll be off on another adventure.

Like Moses, we have now come down from the mountain, not with two clay tablets with the Ten Commandments on them, but with a wealth of memories to last us a really long time. We have one more mountain range to get through before we get home, but we will pass through it at sea level, on its fringes. Continue reading →

Born to Wander

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Mokihana

AFK posted an awesome link to a video on youtube

after I’d said in the last post that I was born to wander.

Here’s another video I found… I think it suits me too, and I was humming it when I wrote about wandering… enjoy! (Get awesome dobro in addition to awesome Emmylou!)

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Thirty-Seven

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Mokihana

So we left Baker City behind us, heading towards the Blue Mountains. We hadn’t gone very far down the road and had just passed under Imnaha Road, when we spied The Oregon Trail Monument. In case you wonder why it takes us so long to get anywhere on road trips, it’s not only because Mokihana hollers, “Train!” or “Barn!” or something, it’s also because she hollers, “Historical Marker!” I think Nolemana would have been content to just drive by, but guess what? He ain’t the driver. He has no control! Heh heh.

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Thirty-Six

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Mokihana

Baker City. It’s a town that gives you such a sense of history! I just told Izzie that I would love to do a walking tour of the town sometime, and find out more about the wonderful old buildings that populate the downtown area. It was really hard to leave Turn the Page Books and head back out to the car; we were beginning to feel a little pressure because home was still a long ways away.

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Thirty-Four

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Mokihana

Kʻden, here we go again! We are now going downhill and closer to the Snake River. The first shot in this part is coming up on the exit for Weiser, Idaho. I always knew the Snake was a long river, but it’s way different seeing it in person hour after hour than seeing it on a map.

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Thirty-Three

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Mokihana

Nolemana, Kukui, and I woke up to a bright sunny day in Ontario, Oregon. The Holiday Inn where I’d made reservations had a restaurant right next door, and I’d also signed up for a dinner coupon, so that’s where we ate. Well, not Kukui. She had her usual boring dog food. The kaukau was good at dinner, so we went there again for breakfast. Musubi waited out in the car. This was a great motel. While we were signing in another wahine was there signing in at the same time. She’d travelled from Colorado and was heading back to Seattle, making the trip alone and loving it. She said that she allots herself an eight-hour driving day, and wherever she is at the time, that’s where she stays. Well, not in the middle of the desert. Who’s da lolo who wen say dat? Nolemana helped her carry her bags up the stairs (no elevator). Really nice lady.
