We're a couple of old geezers who enjoy letterboxing, but who tend to limit our hiding and seeking activity to drive-bys and places that involve easy walks. If we're a long way from home, in a place we might not visit again, we think it's more fun to seek and find easy boxes in several different locations, rather than pursue one hard one. We think our "low impact" letterbox style works work well for families with young children, too.
Shooting the Breeze in Kauai
After 10:30 on a weekday morning, follow Highway 50 West to the “biggest little town” on Kauai’s south shore. Although it's small and peaceful today, Hanapepe once flourished as one of Kauai's biggest towns. Starting in the mid-1800's, Chinese rice farmers harvested the valley, "Mom & Pop" stores began to spring up, and as a natural result, larger businesses were drawn to the area. Hanapepe became a center of commerce and entertainment, with two movie theaters, three skating rinks, over sixty stores, the island’s first airstrip and its second largest port.
Today, Hanapepe's rustic storefronts have become home to a variety of quaint art galleries and shops. Take a walk across the swinging footbridge over the Hanapepe River. Then stop by Talk Story Bookstore, old town Hanapepe's only "used-new-fine-rare bookstore and hangout," and visit with Ed and Cynthia. While you’re there, browse the reference/language section and look up “grasshopper” in the students’ edition of Appleton’s New Spanish Dictionary.
