LOST Locations or When Gabby & Mom Almost Died

Who didn't love this TV series. Actually, I'm presently re-loving it on Netflix.

Gabrielle was a huge fan of the show, so when she was planning to came to Oahu, 

she researched finding some less know about Lost locations.

The first place we searched out was the Other's Village. (Season 3)

Turns out it is Erdman YMCA camp at the NW corner of the island.

After minimal poking around, we traveled down the North shore in search of the Lost Beach!

Gabby found the directions online, down an obscure beach road, 

find the public access path, walk down the beach 10 minutes! 

Here she is! I think she's watched the series at least 6 or 7 times. 

She got me into it after I resisted for several years. Now I'm rewatching it!

The ocean was huge, violent, and powerful that day- GORGEOUS!

Okay, here's the part where we almost died...

We knew it was unwise to get close to the shore that day, 

but to get to the Lost Beach we had to travel a few places where the beach was narrow.

We traversed fine on the way there

 but just before we reach the access path on our way back we had to come around a rocky point.

We got as far from the ocean as possible but the waves overtook the rocks we were clinging to 

& literally went over our heads.

Don't Try This At Home

We terrified the people who were standing at the end of the access path watching the waves.

At least there would have been witnesses had we been washed out to sea!

We got drenched!!! And I scraped my shin- I have a scar to prove it.

In hindsight, that was a really dumb thing to do- but we have some entertaining memories :) 

When we got back to the main road, we realized that they were actually closing beaches due to the violent waves that day. 

whoops.....

Did I mention we saw about 15 sea turtles?

I think I'll go watch some LOST.
