I never really even noticed that there were two rock out-cropping off of Ford Island until today.  Believe it or not, they have names!  On the left is, "Mokuiki," and the larger rock on the right is called, "Mokuhui."  "Moku" means "Island" and "iki" means "little," and "hui" means "joining!"  It makes a  lot of sense when you put it all together.

There she goes again!  Off on another tangent!  Sorry, folks!  My daughter kindly accompanied me on my walk today, and I thought that Aiea Heights was not the place for her to start!  So, a quick re-route developed as she really hasn't toured Ford Island. At 3.47 miles,it made for an interesting walk for both of us, and not as challenging.  For the week total, a lengthy 20.38 miles with a grand total of 298.78 miles!

Upstairs is an open lanai setting with views of the parked sailboats, the leeward side of the Island and canoe paddlers.  "Schooner's" is a wonderful place to de-stress eating good food, drinking cold beverages and watching a Hawaiian sunset!

Is Donna lucky or what!  Catching the tail-end of this drenching rain storm, I used my umbrella for a few sprinkles and then for shade as the sun shined brightly afterward.

Here is the view of Aiea and Aiea Heights from Ford Island.  The housing to the right is Halawa Heights.  When the weatherman talks about "Mauka"(mountain) showers, this is what he means.

I call it the "Golf Ball!"  Moored at Ford Island to resupply and attend to maintenance, this floating radar can be positioned anywhere in the ocean. You can't help but notice it!

Sunk in the attack of Pearl Harbor, here are the remains of the U.S.S. Utah.  Not as famous as the "Arizona" memorial, probably because the death toll wasn't as large, 6 officers and 52 enlisted men died during the attack. Sunk within minutes as a torpedo bomb hit port side, causing immediate listing, then the moor rigging broke under the strain making the battleship roll over completely. Please double click and read the details of this ship.

These are identifying tags for the trees here on Ford Island.  Every number is different and everyone has one.  Why?  I've tried to find information, but came up with a big, fat zero.  Anybody know why?

This was not part of my walk, but on the way back home.  Please double click to see that the "white" thing you see in the car behind us is NOT a gloved hand on the steering wheel, but a socked foot!  Yes, he was driving with his foot and talking on the phone.  Hoping you do NOT see something like this on your drive home!  Aloha!(Bye!)
