Been to Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, Kaui quite a few times with Hawaii being my fave. Resorts at Kohala area is where we stayed. One of my most memorable experiences was taking a 4 wheel jeep down Saddle Road and up to the summit of Mauna Kea where an astronomer took us in and gave us the cook's tour of the Keck. Started taking pictures from about 15 before sunset until 30 minutes after. Unbelievable! Friend that I sell grapes to has done the Iron Man Tri at Kona.
Cooter, send me some of those luscious Sharwil avocados! For those not in the know, "Kona" sharwil is one of Hawaii's premier gourmet cados. I grafted Sharwil budwood to a Florida pit and have it in my greenhouse. Hope to have fruit next year as it's growing like a weed.
Used to trip on mushrooms harvested out of cow pies but my best trip was peyote. We harvested 650 buttons in the fields around Rio Grande City back in 1968. That is truly an out of body experience, astral projection, one with "god". Did the tea we made in pressure cookers, you name it. Ate 7 buttons at once (yech!) and I was no better than that grain of sand, the beach waves became music and colors, I was watching UB moving from 6' out of his body....etc.
Fine plants/buds KH! Wow! Since we're doing a dog and pony show regarding the original C99, here's a few from 2002.
Great example of 4 cola topping response on one of my crosses - C99 X TFD's Original Haze
