The figuring out what your doing part is what the rest of your career is all about.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
Way to go! I hear HI is one of the toughest states.
(I think we all need to travel there to buy you a round...)

Kava's on me! And I'll point out some of the best lava tubes to make camp.
Dave, What are those lava tube holes you have to watch out you don't accidently fall in called? Skylights?

Well, the sharp lava rock is called a'a which I always thought came from the sound you make when you're trying navigate across it without shoes. So I guess the open lava tube hole might be called an o'o.
Or maybe o pupu
Awesome, are you on the big Island?

I don't know if you'd be interested but my son has a friend (pilot and business man) on the island that ended up with a collection of old land records from one of the large northern landowners on the island. If I remember correctly it would mostly be in the Hawi area and along the coast both directions, basically Kohala. Mostly maps, they showed control points but of course the property monuments on the maps caught my attention. It was an extensive collection and he wanted to know what they'd be worth and wanted to sell them. Of course, I wasn't interested in buying MORE maps than I already have. Anyway, if you'd be interested in checking out what he has I'd be happy to have my son contact him. I don't know if the records are worth much, especially if they're already on file publicly. But they might be really helpful if you're working in that area.
@mightymoe Wow. Some of the older 'registered' land information, maps, deeds, land commission awards and various early patents, field notes and descriptions are available only by visiting the state archives on Oahu. Yes, I'd love to check them out. Besides the possibility of having valuable information hidden in them, the land tenure history here is fascinating. Thanks!
