I drove by the Trade Winds former location yesterday and noticed this bulldozer had started doing some work. Looks like something may be happening soon. I really hope they are planning to preserve the trees. Anyone heard anything?

This is a photo from Annie Ellis on the left with her mother, two sisters and David Ellis next to the trailer that Richard Ellis stayed in next to the site while carving dozens of Tiki for the Trade Winds.

Ojatimo,
Wow, that is a great old photo, thanks for posting. Some very impressive Tiki carving.
Bigtikidude,
There are quite a few of these great old Tiki Archeology threads that were started by Bongo, Sabu, Puamana and others before the advent of Locating Tiki. I agree, it would be nice to move them if another thread has not been started yet.

I remember that place from when I was a kid. When did it stop being Don the Beachcombers? Wish it was still there. L&L Hawaiian BBQ on the other side of oxn blvd just can't measure up.
