ph043 North Shore - One of the best places to go just for the atmosphere is the North Shore of Oahu. One of the days I was there the waves were getting up to 15-25 feet. I don't surf, and this is why. The waves of the North Shore breaking on the beach. ph043
ph044 On a decent day, some buddies from the command and I went on a cool hike up a ridge near Kailua on northeast Oahu. This is the view back toward my car from near the top of the peak. My car is roughly the tiny red thing on the road below. ph044
