Day 2, Hawaii Style

This was the most anticipated day of our week.  We booked a Hummer tour of Lost t.v. show locations.  When I read the reviews, everyone said it is a must for Lost fans, and they were so right!  It is also a must if you want to see some truly amazing sites in Hawaii on the private ranch. (and 4 wheeling in a Hummer is pretty fun too!)

We had a guide pick us up at our hotel and drive us around in this thing.  He is also a Lost fan, and is paid to know everything about the film locations.  Most of the time was spent on the private ranch where Lost was filmed (as well as Jurassic Park, Godzilla and lots of other movies)


 In the background, you see Chinaman's hat island.  It shows up everywhere in the movies when they are filmed here (even when it is supposed to be another country)
 "The Island"


 This is the exact spot where Jack and Juliette kissed for the first time

 This hut was used as Richard's home when they told his backstory
 These are the logs where Anna Lucia sat with a guy she killed (excuse my bad memory!)
The tower where they hung the nuclear bomb

Trying to get the Dharma van down the hill! The tour guide had some really fun props to take pictures with.


Scary, huh?



Just hanging out with Hurley on his golf course....



Getting attacked by the Smoke Monster


Godzilla's tracks

This is the place the "submarine" was always filmed.  

 The site of many scenes, mostly with Mr Echo
You would have to go back and watch old episodes, but this window is a part of a few different places during the run of Lost, including a drug deal with Mr Echo

We walked all over the ranch, and it was a little surreal as you started to feel like you were walking in a Lost episode.  The best part was the scenery and being able to see parts of Hawaii not found in Waikiki.  It was gorgeous!
